Latest issue

Quill & Quire cover

Inside: Q&Q looks back on the year that was in our December issue, now on newsstands, in which we highlight the year’s biggest books and news stories. Also in the issue, we look at the controversial decision by Random House of Canada and McClelland & Stewart to outsource foreign rights sales, and at how Annabel Lyon, Kate Pullinger, and a new wave of writers are revitalizing the genre of historical fiction. All that, plus reviews of new books by Jane Urquhart, Yann Martel, L.M. Montgomery, Barbara Reid, Gordon Korman, and more.
