One of my favourite annual events to attend
and participate in is Word, Vancouver (formerly known as Word on the Street). Over
the past twenty years, the event has grown from a single-day festival to a
four-day long celebration of reading and writing. The culmination of all that
fun happens on the last Sunday of every September in various cities across
Canada. This free event is a wonderful day where authors, editors, magazine and
book publishers, literacy and writing organizations gather from all over the
Lower Mainland and beyond to enjoy a day of readings, panel discussions, book
bargains and music.
Crime Writers of Canada will once again be
exhibiting on Sunday, September 28th. This time we’ll be indoors at
the Vancouver Public Library (on Georgia Street), so if it rains we’ll at least
stay dry! I’ll be manning the table from 1 to 3 p.m. with fellow writer Derrick
Carew to tell people about the CWC and celebrate the new titles that Derrick
and I, and other writers have released this year. Hope to see you there!
