History
The Literary Storefront was established in Vancouver in 1978 as a drop-in centre for West Coast and Canadian literati. Under the direction of Mona Fertig, its founder, then later Tom Ilves and Wayne Holder, the non-profit society conducted readings, held workshops, lent books, offered courses and manuscript assessment services and published the work of local writers in several publications: The Literary Storefront Newsletter, the Birthday Book, Vancouver Literary News and Arts Guide.
