B.C. Bookworld

The new edition of B.C. Bookworld was delivered into my mailbox at work today--not a virtual mailbox, but you can "have" it electronically if you wish.

I'm always amazed at the vibrancy of the publishing industry in British Columbia. There are so many publishers and so many writers doing so many great things. There are writers winning prizes and writers handing out prizes. There are books for old, young, and in-between. There are fiction books and series; there are non-fiction books and guide books and hiking books and boating books. There are independent bookstores and big chain bookstores and online bookstores.

It all adds up to something quite wonderful. News snippets of who's doing what, who's moved to what publishing house, and who has won what award keep us up on what's going on out there. For northern writers, we can scope out what's going on in the rest of the province. It ties us in.

This broadsheet newspaper has a world of information. If you want to be in the know, scope it out!
