‘Tis the season, as it were

November 24th, 2011

One year, Aunt Myrtle gave you a decorative item for Christmas. You didn’t know what it was then, and the one time you asked, she told you it was a candy dish-cum-centrepiece. It looked like some kind of calcified brain. You stuffed it in the trunk of your friend’s car as he left after a weekend of debauchery. You don’t know what happened to that thing, but you like to think that when your friend unpacked the trunk, he screamed a little. If only you’d thought to glue eyes to it.

Don’t be Aunt Myrtle.

Give the gift of words this Christmas.

Why Fiction is Good For You

This article by Kate Taylor in the September 09th Globe and Mail is a pretty interesting look at fiction, and why it’s important. Thanks to Nik Burton from Coteau Books for sharing it!

Saskatchewan Scholars

May 29th, 2011

We’ve launched a new program at the Book Fair at Congress 2011. The Saskatchewan Scholars series is a photographic essay being published on Facebook. It highlights scholars who are from Saskatchewan, who studied in Saskatchewan, who taught in a Saskatchewan University, or just anyone who comes into our 10×10 booth space (which we have annexed in the name of Saskatchewan fir the duration of the Book Fair). You can also follow our Congress 2011 experience on Twitter (@SaskPublishers).

Here is a taste of the series:
