Calling all writers and readers!

Sponsored by the Bowen Island Arts Council, Write on Bowen kicks off on Friday, July 11 with an evening of readings featuring Vancouver’s inaugural poet laureate, George McWhirter and four Bowen writers, including James Glave, Bernice Lever, Lisa Shatzky, and Julie Vik. The event will be held at Cates Hill Chapel at 7:30. MC for the evening is the irrepressible Calder Killy.

Over the weekend of July 11 to 13, Festival-goers can choose from eight exciting workshops and three panel presentations. Topics include screenplay writing, memoir writing, poetry for youth, publishing strategies, lyric writing, freelance writing, word drawings with George McWhirter, sourcing your inspiration, and poetry writing. Workshops cost just $20.00 for members of the Bowen Island Arts Council (BIAC) and $25.00 for non-members. Panel presentations are free!
