WOTS Vancouver
Come down and visit us at our tables at The Word on the Street in Toronto and in Vancouver this Sunday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. WOTS is Canada’s largest free one-day literary festival, happening simultaneously in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Kitchener, Toronto and Halifax, so if you’re anywhere near these cities, go check out this fantastic event.
Also! If you’re visiting the event in Toronto, stop by the Great Books Marquee at noon for a reading by Mark Sedore, our 2009 3-Day Novel Contest winner.

News & Updates
Quentin Mills-Fenn of Winnipeg’s Uptown Review says Snowmen, our latest 3-Day Books release, is “really quite good… Sedore has produced a gripping and satisfying story which betrays no clue to its origins.”
Congratulations to long-time Vancouver entrant Christopher Meades, who made the 2007 3DN shortlist with his novel, The Three Fates of Henrik Nordmark. An expanded version of his original draft has been released by ECW Press and is now available in bookstores. Read an excerpt at the ECW website.
And we’ve heard two more 3-Day Novel success stories! Sandy Lender found a home for her 2009 3DN manuscript, Problems on Eldora Prime, with NWP, and Lisa Naraine expanded her 2008 entry, The Package, and the revised version was recently accepted by Transit Medias. Congratulations to both contest veterans.
