2008 Events
Writers Out Loud
The Writers Out Loud series showcases talented and personable English-language writers from across the province of Quebec. Most events feature two writers, one as the featured guest (usually with a new book in print) and the other acting in the capacity of host and interviewer. While there is always at least one short reading, the goal of the event is to introduce the audience to the featured writer, not just as a writer, but as a personality. The audience is invited to ask questions, and the conversation is always lively, with plenty of laughs and food for thought!
Recent guests include Yann Martel, Rawi Hage, Ann Charney, Carolyn Marie Souaid, Elaine Kalman Naves, Dimitri Nasrallah, Mark Tewkesbury, Zoe Whittall, Glen Rotchin, Bill Brownstein, William Weintraub, Gil Troy, Marci Denesiuk, Ibi Kaslik, Denise Roig, Jaspreet Singh, Joel Yanofsky, Mary di Michele, Daniel Sanger, Nalini Warriar and Neale McDevitt.
