Bookstore brings international authors directly from the Book Fair to Rio de Janeiro readers

The Leitura Bookstore at Nova América Shopping in Rio de Janeiro will host two prominent Canadian authors in the publishing market: Danielle L. Jensen on September 13th and Bal Khabra on September 15th. The writers are in Brazil to participate in the São Paulo Book Fair and took advantage of their trip to the country to meet Rio readers at special autograph sessions.

The encounters are free and each will feature the distribution of 150 wristbands to control access to the event. In the case of Danielle L. Jensen, the wristbands will begin distribution on September 12th, starting at the bookstore's opening, and interested parties must present or purchase one of the author's titles at the store to receive them.

The event with Bal Khabra takes place on September 15th, with the distribution of the 150 wristbands beginning at the store's opening. Both authors are recognized in the fantasy literature and international romance genres, attracting fans who seek works from the Canadian publishing market.

The initiative offers readers in Rio de Janeiro the chance to personally meet authors who would normally only be accessible through the São Paulo Book Fair, expanding the reach of these literary encounters beyond the state capital.
