Every year, BC celebrates one of our mostly unsung success stories: our surprisingly vibrant writing and publishing community. And soon, the province will be marking BC Book & Magazine Week 2006 with a slew of events from readings to dancing (really) to cabaret (again, really).
In Vancouver, much of the action will center on Main Street, which over the past decade has become a new focus for the city’s creative energy, rivalling Commercial Drive, which nonetheless remains our town’s uncontested funkiness epicentre. (I’m spending more and more of my time over there lately, in part because of the recent explosion of great cafés and free WiFi.)
So see you at one of the events. Meanwhile, you can follow developments at the BC Book and Magazine Week Blog, where you’ll find out about things like the MY BC photo contest. Better yet, the blog – still in its early days – is already shaping up to be a terrific round-up of BC publishing news big and small.
