Night Out, But With Books

Join Fresh Off The Press Book Club — the IRL book club bringing people together in wine bars, cafés, and bookstores across 5 Canadian cities.

Save Yourself a Seat!

Fresh Off the Press is building the third places we’ve been missing.Our events are thoughtful nights out for people who crave deeper conversations and real connection.
It’s not about being a bookworm or having the “right” opinion. It’s about showing up, sharing ideas, and letting stories bring people together.Our goal is to build something bigger than a book club. A network of third places across cities where strangers can meet, talk, think, and belong.Two events a month. No pressure. No pretentiousness. Just good books and even better tables to gather around.

As Seen In

“Our goal is to help book lovers build new relationships, get out of their TBR (‘to be read’) comfort zone, and support indie bookstores through book sales.”

How It Works

Step 1. - Find a match

Check out our upcoming events and choose the book (and city) that speaks to you.

Step 2. - Join Our Group Chat

Once you grab your ticket, you’ll get access to the private group chat where we share recs, hype each other up, and break the ice before the meetup.

Step 3. - Make Connections

Show up. Grab a seat. Talk books, ideas, and everything in between. Whether you’re new in town or just craving better conversations: this is your table.Important: You'll recieve the book club topics, questions and icebreakers a few hours before the event!
