The Federation of British Columbia Writers announces Jessica Brody,
as Keynote Speaker for the BC Writers’ Online Summit
COURTENAY, BC — The author of best-selling ‘Save the Cat! Writes a Novel’ is the
Keynote speaker for this year’s BC Writers’ Summit. This week-long event runs from May 15 to
May 21st, entirely online.
“We are ecstatic that Ms. Brody has agreed to be our keynote speaker and to do a special
members-only Fireside chat. Running this event entirely online has allowed us to bring in
someone who may have been out of reach in previous years,” said Bryan Mortensen, Executive
Director at The Federation of British Columbia Writers.
“As we cross the milestone of 1000 members on our 45th anniversary, our goal is to
expand our programs and services throughout the province, especially in rural remote
communities.”
Summit participants can expect a range of workshops and events that cross genres,
mediums, and audience skill levels. The summit is also offering Blue Pencil Query Letter
Reviews, which can be added to the Summit Pass for only $35. This includes a 15-minute
feedback consult with an editor from Darling Axe. There are only 40 spots open for the reviews,
so book early. Registration for the Summit officially opens today, through the Federation of BC
Writers website, https://www.bcwriters.ca/BCSummit.
