This has been sitting in my drafts folder for a couple of months… a profile of my favorite fiction mentor Steven Galloway by the CBC. The piece talks about The Cellist of Sarajevo and has a brief but interesting Q&A with Steven. A good length for whiling away a coffee break, I think.

Rock.

Long time no see, litfarmers. Blogs, man. They don’t update themselves, do they? Err. Anyway.

The Federation of BC Writers is having a competition for short fiction: Literary Writes 2008. Deadline is right around the corner, July 1, 2008, and the entry fee is $20 ($15 if you’re a member). Any genre is acceptable, and prizes are $500, $300, $150, plus publication in WordWorks and an opportunity to read at Word on the Street, Vancouver’s annual downtown literary fest.

Good luck, and let me know if you enter.
