Quill and Quire

Awhile back I mentioned that there were some similarities between editor Patrick Crean and author Paul Quarrington. On the last page in July's edition of Quill & Quire there is actually a picture of them together!

Speaking of Quill & Quire, I have submitted several photos of author events that have taken place here in Ottawa.

Hopefully, they will pick them up and publish them come the August issue. It would be nice to show that Ottawa not only has some great authors but also great literary events. The folks at the Ottawa International Writersfest, Collected Works, Mother Tongue Books, Library & Archives, Nicholas Hoare Books, Small Press Action Network in Ottawa (SPAN-O), Tree Reading Series, Plan 99 at the Manx Pub, Bywords.ca, Dusty Owl Reading Series, and so on, all contribute to a lively literary culture here in Canada's capital. It would be nice to see more people attend and enjoy these events - many are free!
