Event Description:

WordFest and the Writers Guild of Alberta invite you to a party to celebrate our freedom to write, read and express ourselves. Our annual celebration has moved to February to help celebrate Freedom to Read Week.
Todd Babiak will be reading from his new book, “Toby: A Man.”
Todd Babiak is an author, journalist and screenwriter. Babiak is also on the board of PEN Canada, on the steering committee for Architecture Alberta and is a columnist for the Edmonton Journal. “Toby: A Man” follows etiquette commentator Toby Menard’s fall from grace that finds him living back with his parents. Trapped with a toddler and forced to deal with his father's tragedies, Toby emerges from the basement bungalow of his life-muddy, broke, bruised, heartbroken-but, finally, a man. Babiak is currently living abroad with his family in France.
