Neither can we! Kathy Chung will be announcing the registration opening date very soon.

But if you just can't wait, here's a way to slake your conference thirst. The Canadian Authors Association national conference is being held in beautiful Victoria, BC this year from June 24-27th. A number of old friends of SiWC [Anthony Dalton, Bernice Lever, Lois Peterson and me] will be presenting. Keynote speakers will include well-known authors Patrick Taylor and Richard Wagamese, and there are tons of activities planned -- make sure to check it out!

Details HERE, or contact Jean Kay, Conference Coordinator at 604-943-9247, or email:

Hope to see you there!

I just received notice of this contest today -- but it's a good 'un, (winner gets a book contract!) so if you've got something in your notebook that might work...send it in! One of the judges is our own Anthony Dalton, who will be presenting at our conference this year.
