The 22nd Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival, one of North America’s premier literary events, takes place Oct 18 - 25 in Vancouver, BC. The Vancouver Sun just published a great article on the festival, Big Names and a Six-Day Smorgasbord for Local Books Worms, that gives a glimpse of the treasures in store for literary fans attending. The article highlights one event that I would love to attend but is unfortunately sold out: author Mariatu Kamara of The Bite of the Mango in conversation Kathryn Gretsinger.
On Thursday I will be chaperoning students in my son’s class to Event #29 - Hide and Seek with acclaimed young adult authors Gordon Korman and Matthew Skelton. My son Evan is most excited to see Gordon Korman in person! Last year Evan “discovered” Korman and was instantly hooked on his books especially the Dive, Everest and Island series. This promises to be a great experience for the students (as well as us chaperones!). Here’s the preview for the event:
Adventures around the world and through time join together these two skilled authors. A phoenix-like bird in a nest guarded by crows, a daring hot-air balloon ride, a skillful heist of animals from a floating zoo, a speedboat chase through the canals of Venice, modern Europe and 18th century Antarctica and 16th century England—all find their way into the books of Gordon Korman and Matthew Skelton. Novels can take you to places you’ve never been and times that you’ll never see. Come and play hide and seek with two of the best children’s authors writing today.
To read and watch the events unfold at this year’s festival visit the Festival Blog. 7 bloggers will be contributing text, audio clip interviews and photos on a daily basis.
Award-winning author Patricia Curtis Pfitsch passes along the following invitation to our PaperTigers’ readers:
You are invited to attend a YA author panel, “Using Fiction to Discover Your Courage,” Friday, October 9 from 6-8 p.m. at the Madison Children’s Museum, 100 State Street, Madison, Wisconsin.
During this Wisconsin Book Festival event, I will join Sheri Sinykin, author of Giving Up the Ghost and Stephanie Golightly Lowden, author of Time of the Eagle, in discussing the role of courage, both in the writing process and in our characters’ journeys. We’ll read from our novels, answer questions and autograph our books. Hope to see you there!
Patricia tells me she will be bringing her camera and will try to share some photos and experiences with us after the event.
