This month we’ve moved our meeting to Monday, September 15th instead of Tuesday and across the street so that we can have the brand-new Shebeen all to ourselves! We’ll play host to Sylvia Taylor, President of the Federation of BC Writers, who will give us an overview of the Fed and what it can do for its writers. Some of you will remember Sylvia from a our June meeting, when she spoke on memoir writing and editing.
Welcome to all the first-time Shebeeners! Our meetings are a convivial gathering of literary types of all sorts: editors, writers, publishers, booksellers, and students as well. All are welcome.
Go into the Irish Heather GastroPub, then through the back door to The Shebeen Whisky House, 212 Carrall Street in Gastown. If you get lost, staff can show you the way. Note that this is across the street from the old location.
Your $15 admission includes a great dinner of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta from the kitchen of the Irish Heather gastropub, plus one glass of wine or pint of beer or pop.
Meet and Greet 7-7:30
Listen and Learn 7:30-8
Signups, networking, and complaining about agents 8-9!
