The Small Letters, aka Mike Berard and Allie Jenkinson, are putting on a Twitter for Writers seminar on Saturday morning. 9am. At the Aava.
Mike is the editor at The Ski Journal, a photographer, copywriter and social media guru. We pitched 5 questions in his directions, and he parried them all…
What’s taking up space on your bedside table right now?
The Walrus, Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner, and an endless ream of mortgage-related contracts that need to be signed.
Festival guest author, Caroline Adderson, was just pictured in the Globe and Mail in the buff, confessing that the bathtub is her favourite place to read. If YOU were going to be featured in the Globe and Mail, how/where would you strike the pose?
Saturday morning, hot, strong coffee with generous amounts of cream and sugar, My Morning Jacket or Xavier Rudd quietly playing in the background, and the sun shining in the window. After that, what I’m reading is inconsequential.
In that same article, Adderson offered up her ‘cure for an ungenerous heart, for boredom, for disillusionment. In that same vein, what are the top 3 ailments you need to tackle, and what are your prescribed cures?
For anxiety, for overwork, for boredom: a powder day, a powder day, a powder day.
Give us a teaser of the deep thoughts you are going to share in your seminar? What will people come out of the room thinking/feeling/knowing?
My goal is to help people understand how social media can help connect you in ways beneficial to your writing, whether it’s a business contact, a source of inspiration or to resources that can help your craft. It’s not all about Jersey Shore and Bieber Fever.
Three words to describe the Whistler Readers + Writers Festival.
Fun, inspirational, educational
