Shuswap Lake 2010 International Writers Festival

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 28, 29 & 30, 2010

The 2010 festival was a great success! There is already lots of energy and buzz going into planning the 2011 festival – May 27 – 29, 2011.

The evaluations from all who attended – participants and workshop presenters alike – were very positive. Here are some of the things people said about the festival:

"extremely helpful and informative", "overall - excellent", "a great addition to Salmon Arm's cultural and educational scene", "very impressive".

And the word from presenters was equally positive! Here are a few comments:

Because of the broad cross-section of offerings the committee did a fine job of selecting for variety and I think attendees really appreciate this from what I heard on-site.

The festival was extremely well organized… The program was varied and obviously catered to all tastes and levels of development – all part of the excellent organization. I’m an inveterate observer and eavesdropper and I didn’t hear a single person carping or complaining about anything.

From my Blue Pencil sessions with participants, I think I have two potential new books. (from one of the publishers who presented)
