Gina’s workshops, events and presentations in 2026

This spring, Gina has three events in the Halifax/Dartmouth area, with several more in the works. Here are the details:

Book Launch - Pickled in Love, Gina’s latest novel

Date: Saturday, March 21, at 11 am

Place: Central Library in Halifax, 5440 Spring Garden Road, Halifax NS B3J 1E9

Can two hesitant 50-somethings get out of their own way to fall in love?

Gina Brown will read from her third novel, Pickled in Love, a romantic comedy set in Halifax. The story explores the challenges of second-chance love, not giving up, and finding love in unusual places, like a pickleball court. She will also answer questions about finding story ideas, the writing process, and self-publishing.

Local Author Appearance - Happy Canadian Independent Bookstore Day!

Date: Saturday, April 25, from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Dartmouth Book Exchange, 1187A Cole Harbour Rd, Dartmouth B2V 1Z2

Presentation -What’s the Best Publishing Path for Writers?

Date: Tuesday, May 12, at 6:30 pm

Place: Woodlawn Public Library, 31 Eisener Boulevard, Dartmouth, NS B2W 0J1

Calling all writers and aspiring writers! Are you thinking about publishing a book but unsure where to begin? In this one-hour session, local writer and indie publisher of three novels, Gina Brown, will share insights on the three main paths: traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing. She’ll discuss the pros and cons of each and answer your questions.
