Toronto Event: Chiaroscuro Reading Series
Friday, September 9th, 2011
Snowmen by Mark Sedore
One great way to recover from the rigours of the 3-Day Novel Contest is to get a taste of the kind of fiction that can be conceived during the marathon—and one such opportunity is coming up in Toronto.
Our 2009 3DN winner, Mark Sedore, will read from his winning novel this Wednesday, September 14, as part of the fabulous Chiaroscuro Reading Series. This edition of the regular event, called A Chill In the Air, features Mark alongside Helen Marshall and Katherine Govier, who will each present their own dark and deliciously chilly visions of the future.
Details:
Wednesday, Sept. 14, 8pm - 11pm

Chung’s creepy-sweet winner of the 33rd Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest. Jennifer will read from her book and answer your questions about how she excelled at the contest… and there may even be free chicken teriyaki and adorable little pins for early arrivers.
