Evening With the Authors

A come-and-go gathering organized by a group of local Airdrie writers brought together area authors for an informal evening of connecting, conversation, and creative exchange in a relaxed community setting.

On December 5, 2025, attendees spent the evening chatting with local writers, learning about the diverse stories being created close to home, while sharing a love of literature over coffee. The event welcomed members of the public, readers, aspiring writers, and anyone interested in connecting with Airdrie’s literary community.

“This event was all about community—bringing writers and readers together, celebrating local creativity, and supporting the people who contribute to our region’s literary culture,” said one of the organizers, Ann Edall-Robson.

    I wish I could have been there, it looks like it was so much fun, never mind invigorating and inspiring.

      It was all of those things and more. There is talk of organizing another same only different one, in spring/summer.

  2. Dear Ann,
    I really appreciate all your hard work to make the Evening with  the Authors a success! I’m so glad to meet you as well. 

    It was a very successful night for me, not just in sales, but I felt like I nailed down my blurb better. I met an editor I might use in the future, and I made connections with other authors. It was probably a life-changing night for me, so I thought I’d write and thank you for helping to put it on. 

    If you ever have an event like that again, I’d love to join, and if you ever need help organizing it, just let me know. Thank you again. 

    Sincerely,
