THIS WEDS: WRITER TALK feat. award-winning author and Orca Books editor, GABRIELLE PRENDERGAST!

Wednesday, June 17, 7 p.m., via Zoom. FREE to the public! Register here: https://www.bcwriters.ca/event-6695097

WRITER TALK is the Federation of BC Writers' new live interview series designed to pull back the golden curtain on the publishing world. Casual chitchat—not a workshop or webinar—a low-key Q&A between host and guest where you can bring your writing and publishing questions.

Each session features a guest from within this crazy industry—writers of all career stages repping a variety of genres and styles, successfully published authors, freelance and publishing house editors, agents, publicists, and other book-world professionals—in a candid chat meant to inform and inspire. We’ll dig into the real questions we all have about how to go from page 1 to published.

Digital doors open at 6:55 pm!

**This event will be recorded. A link to the recording will be emailed to registrants within a week of the session. The recording will be available for 45 days.
