As promoted earlier this morning, I did in fact participate in the National Post’s first live blogging experiment with a host of prominent authors and publishers today. It was a little surreal sitting at my desk over the lunch hour typing in my modest contributions and enjoying the insights of my fellow live bloggers. Towards the end, the floor was opened for visitors to ask questions. The technology worked well. Click here or on the photo montage above to review the transcript of the live blogging session.

Today at noon, I’m thrilled to be participating in a live blogging session with some very big names in Canadian Literature (I’ll be representing the little names in Canlit!). Also on the panel will be:
- Nino Ricci, author of The Origin of Species, 2008 Governor General’s Literary Award finalist
- Vincent Lam, winner of the 2006 Giller Prize for Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures
- Martha Kanya-Forstner, Editorial Director, Doubleday Canada
- Doug Hunter, author of God’s Mercies, 2008 Governor General’s Literary Award finalist
- Doug Pepper, President of McClelland & Stewart
- Lewis DeSoto, author of Blade of Grass, 2004 Booker Prize longlist
- Yvonne Hunter, Director of Marketing and Publicity, Penguin Canada
- Sarah MacLachlan, President, House of Anansi
We’ll be live blogging and responding to “audience” questions and comments on a range of topics including:
- New generation of writers in the spotlight
- Awards submission processes
- Author of the year
- New trends in publishing
- This year’s surprises
- How to measure the success of your book
- How awards change the process
I’m looking forward to it. Here’s the link for this live blogging session. Come and join the conversation…
