Federation of BC Writers: Northern Chapter


A July meeting is set for the Northern Chapter of the
Federation of BC Writers

1-3 pm
Saturday July 15
ARTSPACE
above Books & Company in Prince George.

THE FIRST 8 MEMBERS TO RESERVE A 5 MINUTE READING SLOT WILL BE SCHEDULED. SEND YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU WILL BE READING FROM TO THE NEW LOCAL REP LYNDA WILLIAMS.

Format will be 40 minutes of readings by members from works brought to sell to other members, or to trade, or to make available to members for reviewing purposes. Works may include traditionally published works, self-published works, chapbooks, or print outs of online publications but must be available to sell or give away in print form at the meeting. Readings may be reserved in advance. If time allows members may volunteer on the day. But time limit will be strictly
observed to allow time for networking and book shopping during a 20 min. break.

After the break, there will be a round table update from members on their personal news or leads/opportunities they wish to share. Each speaker will be limited to 2 minutes of floor time. Again, time limits will be observed to leave time for socializing afterwards. Meeting will conclude with a 15 minute presentation on New Publishing Strategies by CEO of ScrollPress Dr. Dee Horne.

Guests are welcome, but we'll expect repeat guests to become paid-up members of the B.C. Writers Federation.
