Good morning to you all!
Today I want to talk about some writers I know through cyberspace that have won awards or been published recently.
The first writer is Andrew Tibbetts. He won the Malahat Review 2008 Novella Prize and was commenting on the Canadian Writers' Collective blog last Friday that not many of his friends read his work. I thought this was a perfect opportunity for me to mention his prize and to guide people to his blog and the other Canadian writers I've met through their collective. Read, read, read everyone and let them know you've experienced their work.
Bravo, Andrew! What an amazing accomplishment.
The next writer is Amy Shearn. She has recently published her first novel and I just received it from Chapters yesterday. I can't wait to dig into it and her blog Moonlight Ambulette is always fun and inspiring.
Congratulations, Amy! Your book is sitting on my reading table and it's at the top of my fiction reading list.
I think I will keep my Tuesdays for talking about writers who have recently been recognized and also to discuss their work--which I will read!
Remember everyone what goes around comes around and if you want people to celebrate your work you've gotta go that extra mile to celebrate other people's work too!
In other words check your egos at the door and read people, and enjoy!
