But I wanted to draw your attention to a panel relevant to those who read CanLit for LittleCanadians.

On
  Friday, October 20, 2017, 

 6-7 p.m.

at

Knox Presbyterian Church

a trio of youngCanLit authors will present a panel titled 

A Means to a End: Keeping a Series Alive

In attendance will be three of the authors of Orca Book Publishers' Seven series,  The Seven Sequels and The Seven Prequels:

This session is described as follows:

To create a story that is riveting and engaging is an accomplishment on its own. To continue a story throughout many novels and hold an audience’s attention takes an extraordinary talent.

These three authors have mastered the art of keeping a story alive through their tales of triumph, discovery, and self-actualization. Join us as award-winning authors Eric Walters, Richard Scrimger, and Shane Peacock discuss the process of series writing and how to keep readers coming back every time.
