Media Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Literary Luminaries at the Nanaimo Museum 

 

Literary Luminaries at Nanaimo Museum is now in its third year. Nine
local authors will talk for fifteen minutes each about their work, on
Saturday February 25, from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm. The museum will open
at 9:40 am to give visitors a chance to be seated in the museum's
program room before the event starts. Admission is by donation.

 

"Literary Luminaries is a great event for books lovers and history
enthusiasts alike," says Aimee Greenaway, the Nanaimo Museum's Program
Coordinator. "Audience members will find out insider information about
how the books were written and have the opportunity to meet their
favourite authors." 

 

Presentations will be given by: Richard Mackie, Naomi Wakan, Tom
Roulstone, Kenn Joubert, Tom Paterson, Valerie Alia, Mary Ann Moore, Dee
Cullen, Linda Dorricot and Martyn Kinsella-Jones. Their wide ranging
topics include books about the history of Nanaimo and Vancouver Island,
poetry, historical fiction, science fiction and aboriginal culture. They
will be available at their tables in the museum's gallery, throughout
the event, to sign books and answer questions. Other authors will have a
table at the event and will be available to sign books. Specific times
for the authors to speak are available on our website. Please contact
Aimee Greenaway at program at nanaimomuseum.ca
