Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) invites the public to the Read Local: CK Author Festival slated for this November.
As a part of CKPL’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) celebration, the Read Local: CK Author Festival will be held at the Chatham Branch on Saturday, November 19 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Every year, thousands participate in National Novel Writing Month, the worldwide challenge of completing a 50,000-word novel between November 1 and 30.
The Festival will be an opportunity for Chatham-Kent authors to meet readers and aspiring writers, connect with other local authors and to promote and sell their books. Authors will also be randomly selected for short readings at the event.
Anyone from Chatham-Kent who has written and published a book, in print or as an ebook, is welcome to apply. Due to space limitations, all authors are asked to submit an application to be considered for this event. The application can be found on the Read Local: CK Author Festival page at www.ckpl.ca. Applications are due by Friday, September 30. Authors can also contact the library for more information at 519.354.2940.
