Our Story,
Our Mission

Supporting self-published Canadian authors and helping hidden stories find readers.

Why Café Book Club Was Created

I started Café Book Club for one simple reason: I couldn’t get my own book into major bookstores because I was self-published.

Like many independent authors, I discovered that great stories are often overlooked simply because they don’t come from traditional publishers.

Instead of giving up, I decided to create something better.

Café Book Club was built to help readers discover books written by self-published Canadian authors and to give independent writers a place where their stories can be seen, shared, and supported.

Because great books deserve readers, no matter how they’re published.
