“We’re thrilled to present the programming for Season 2 of Writers Unbound,” says Rebecca West, Executive Director of AELAQ. “As the creator of the only show in Quebec with a focus on English-language writing, we’re excited to return with new interviews, updated programming, and more books to share with our viewers.”

“Despite the growing demand and dynamism of the English-language literary community, this is the first TV program of its kind dedicated to the subject. With Writers Unbound, MAtv is pleased to offer unique and much-needed content to Videotron customers, with the support of established collaborators in the English literature sector in Quebec. For us, this is a way to showcase the work and talent of local authors," says Steve Desgagné, Senior Director, MAtv.
