Article content Roughly a year before the pandemic hit, Shelley Youngblut met with book publishers in Toronto and floated what seemed like a radical idea at the time. The CEO of Wordfest was interested in securing an appearance by British author Hilary Mantel, a two-time Booker Prize winner. She had just wrapped up her historical-fiction Wolf Hall trilogy about the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell with 2020’s The Mirror and the Light.
