About Us

Every story starts somewhere

After years of searching for a literary organization that would empower the various diverse voices that grace the rich fabric of Canadian society, Books That Bind, was born to bridge the gap for authors, publishers and literature lovers. For a long time, this kind of an organization that brought immigrant authors, writers of multiple genres and languages, stories and literary voices long held back, to the forefront of mainstream community, was a dream, a quiet whisper. Finally, in 2025, the whisper took the form of action through the persistence and passion of two individuals- Asha and Meenakshi.

This organization is a story of resilience and hope, of love and support, proof of moving mountains and accomplishing goals! We hope you are inspired by our story.

Books and Beyond

Everyone carries a story within them. In fact each person carries many stories within them. There is a healing power within these stories and in the release of these stories.

Here, at Books That Bind, we pursue this healing with a passion. We write to heal. We tell stories to heal. We teach others to do the same. Here, you will find a community to walk the journey of mental health and emotional wellbeing through the art of writing.

Join our 'writing for mental health' workshops and vibe with your tribe to a healing experience.
