Let’s Talk Books
In-person
25 King Street East
Cobourg, ON
Sunday, June 19, 2022
2:00 p.m. Eastern Time
I’m happy to be part of the Summer reading series at Let’s Talk Books. This will be an outdoor event, weather permitting, so please dress appropriately (which I’m hoping, by June, will mean short sleeves and sunscreen!) Seating is limited, so the store strongly urges you to pre-register by calling 289-252-2214, or by emailing them. You’ll find full details of the event in one of their upcoming newsletters, which you can read at their website.
When Words Collide
Virtual/Online
Friday, August 12 – Sunday, August 14, 2022
When Words Collide is an annual, Calgary-based, non-profit festival “designed to bring readers and writers together in a celebration of the written word”. This year I’m incredibly honoured to be featured as one of the festival’s Guests of Honour, alongside Terry Brooks, Hank Phillipi Ryan, and Edward Willett. The festival is free to attend this year, but free registration is required via Eventbrite. You can learn all you need to know by visiting the festival’s website.
Surrey International Writers’ Conference
In-person and Virtual/Online
Thursday, October 20 – Sunday, October 23, 2022
Those of you who know me know that SiWC is, hands-down, the highlight of my writing year. This year it will be a hybrid conference that will blend the best of what we learned during our time online with the joy of being physically together. My plans are to be in Surrey, B.C., for this year’s conference. Registration is now open but it’s a small, cosy conference and even the virtual places traditionally fill up quickly. All the details you need, from the full slate of presenters to the schedule to the registration portal, are here on the conference website.
