Virtually attending a literary salon

I’m thrilled to have been invited to attend the first #yycsalon via Skype tonight and will be live tweeting it since I couldn’t actually make it to Calgary.

Here are the details – you can follow Susan Toy of Alberta Books Canada on Twitter, but she’s hosting, so check out the hashtag instead. And if you’re in Calgary, get yourself on the mailing for the next one – Susan’s going to see if she can’t make the next salon in December (surprise December guest is an Alberta author who won the Bantam/Seal First Novel award who teaches in the MFA creative writing program at University of Calgary – my that’s a broad hint).

Alberta Books Canada is pleased to announce
a new reading series
The Johnson House Literary Salons
in Marda Loop, Calgary
Please join us for the first of these events
Tuesday, November 29th
7 – 9 p.m.
Featuring readings by Calgary authors
Betty Jane Hegerat
Lori Hahnel
Rosemary Griebel
Bob Stallworthy
Followed by a discussion with the authors
Books published by these authors will be available to purchase
thanks to Sue Hill of Monkeyshines Children’s Books
Admission fee – $10 per person
(In keeping with our belief that authors should be compensated for their participation,
ALL monies collected will be paid directly to the authors)
Coffee and tea will be served – please bring your own cup
If you are interested in attending please send an email to susanmtoy@gmail.com with the subject line: Johnson House Salon
You will receive confirmation and the exact address in a return email. Only a limited number of tickets will be available, so please send your request soon.
We look forward to welcoming you to our first Johnson House Salon!

About

No Spin PR develops messaging that works for 21st Century corporations. Wading through jargon, deconstructing dissertations, getting to the heart of the matter – that’s our job. Then we get you talking to your audiences: customers, suppliers, regulators, staff, critics, pundits, politicians….

If there are people who haven’t heard your side of the story, don’t know what you can do for them, or don’t know you exist, let No Spin PR help you start some conversations.

For the past three years I’ve been working with authors (both fiction and non-fiction, traditionally and self-published), scientists, and scientists who are authors. I also provide one-on-one and one-to-many social media training on site, via Skype and on the phone.

Since this is a blog, a brief blog comment policy: The author of this blog and owner of this site welcomes comments that are neither obscene nor spam (although if the spam is particularly amusing it may well be posted). If I’ve got something wrong, please don’t hesitate to let me know and your comment will be posted. The only revisions that are silently made to blog posts (no matter how retrospectively embarrassing they may be) will be to correct typos (spelling, punctuation or those nasty double words/words left out). Any other revisions made for updating purposes will use strikethrough mode or will be posted as comments themselves, prefaced by the word: Update.
