Heading to Thunder Bay in August

I’ve been invited to read and speak at the Sleeping Giant Writers Festival over the final weekend in August. Even better, my editor/publisher from McClelland & Stewart, Doug Gibson will be speaking as well. I’ll be developing, and twice presenting, a two hour workshop on self-promotion for aspiring writers. Doug will be doing  a session on publishing. I’ll also be doing a reading alongside the CanLit superstar Miriam Toews, who won the Governor General’s Award for her novel, A Complicated Kindness. This should be a great way to close out the summer. A week after I return from Thunder Bay, The High Road hits bookstores.
