Festivals

The Calgary Young Writers Conference: a magical convergence of 1200 students in grades 4-8 with 40+ authors offering an array of workshops at Robert Thirsk High School. Both the view and the day were inspiring!

It was an honour and a pleasure to meet Cea Sunrise Person in person (!) and host her reading at STARFest, St. Albert Reader’s Festival.

Warm words and weather at the 2017 Whistler Writers Festival! Founded in Stella Harvey’s living room 16 years ago, it remains a warm and welcoming celebration Canadian writers.

I was so excited to be flying to the Whistler Writers Festival that I almost didn’t a plane! A wonderful celebration of Canadian writers in this magical mountain setting.

Word on the Street 2017 welcomed over fifty authors and exhibitors in its new location on historic Broadway Avenue. Great table talk with so many friendly Saskatonians.

Spring never comes to Alberta in February!
Which is why I was so excited to be doing some island-hopping with Separation Anxiety in BC this past February. First stop: Galiano Island and a Writeshop.

The inaugural awards recognizing self-published Canadian authors were announced at the 15th Whistler Writers Festival. Separation Anxiety took first place in the non-fiction category!

I enjoyed hanging out at Words in the (Sherwood) Park celebrating Alberta Culture Days.
