Muskoka Authors Association Presents the 13th Annual Tall Pine Tales

MUSKOKA, ON — Muskoka Authors Association is delighted to present the 13th Annual Tall Pine Tales, a beloved community series showcasing the rich and diverse literary talent of Muskoka. Spanning five engaging events throughout the summer and fall, Tall Pine Tales invites audiences to gather, listen, and be transported by the written word.
Conceived by the late Melody Richardson, this enduring series continues to honour her vision of nurturing and celebrating local writers—both emerging and established. Each event features a lively lineup of readers sharing works that range from historical fiction and heartfelt poetry to humorous memoirs, suspenseful short stories, and captivating novel excerpts.
These evenings are a reminder of the incredible creative spirit that lives right here in our communities. There is something truly special hearing a story from the author’s own voice.
