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…
