I'm in my third year coordinating the Fraser Valley Writers Festival, and we're very excited about this year's lineup! The festival will take place on November 7th and 8th at the University of the Fraser Valley's Abbotsford campus.
To open the festival, we'll have keynote addresses by Charlie Demers and Evelyn Lau. The next day we'll have an array of panels, workshops and two Page Fright podcast live recordings. Poets involved will include out-of-towners Kayla Czaga, Nick Thran and Brian Bartlett and local poets Joseph Dandurand, Daniela Elza, Taryn Hubbard and more.
