Do you love to put your thoughts on paper? Have you got yearnings to be a published author, improve your writing, or simply pass on family stories? Then the Powell River Festival of Writers third annual Fall Fest is just for you! With their vision to “celebrate the craft of writing and the joy of reading,” twice a year, they’ve attracted big name authors and publishers to Powell River over the last four years.

This year, author Adam Schroeder, is excited to be teaching his one day workshop “Writing Your Socks Off” at the Fall Fest. He graduated with a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from UBC in 1999. Since then he’s written for magazines, taught creative writing and published Kingdom of Monkeys, and recently Empress of Asia. Empress of Asia has been nominated as finalist for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize.

Rally with other writers of varying levels of experience for a fun and informative day. Learn from the best while being encouraged by your peers to keep writing. A book fare, refreshments, workshop, handouts, and inspiration are sure to make this Fall Fest a day you’ll remember.

Join them, Saturday November 3, 9:30 a.m. – 4:00p.m. at the French Club (downstairs), 5110 Manson Ave. Cost $50.
