Folks, Start Your Calendars
It’s going to be a busy three days for Pulp Literature!
Thursday Is Launch Day!
On Thursday 19 October, we’re launching Issue 40, Autumn 2023. We’ll be at the Terminal Pub in New Westminster from 5-7pm, celebrating good books with some good beer!
Joining us to raise a pint are bestselling authors CC Humphreys and JM Landels, 2022 Jack Whyte Storyteller Award winner CZ Tacks, Magpie Award winning poets Catherine Lewis and Mark Cameron, and debut storyteller and artist Jordan Bray.
Now’s your chance to meet some of our amazing authors and have them sign your copy of Issue 40.
Get your tickets today!
But wait … there’s more!
After the launch, join us at 7pm at the nearby Community Art Space at Columbia Square Plaza where Pulp author and Magpie contest judge Renée Sarojini Saklikar will be reading with Diana Gabaldon and Sonali Dev!
Tellers of Long Tales: An Evening of Readings and Book Signings is a free event hosted by the Surrey International Writers Conference, Western Sky Books, and the Royal City Literary Arts Society.
Author Christina Myers is set to emcee. And books from all four writers will be available to purchase for signing. After the readings, look forward to a discussion and a short Q&A.
Doors open and book sales begin at 6:30. The readings will go from 7-9pm.
Friday is Contest Announcement Day!
At a banquet dinner on Friday 20 October, the winners of the 2023 Jack Whyte Storyteller Award will be announced at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference.
While it might be too late to get tickets to this much-in-demand sold-out event, it’s never too late to read last year’s winners!
That’s right! We publish the winners and runners-up in Pulp Literature. And have we got a deal for you: Pick up the 2023 SiWC bundle and save $15. Get all three issues containing the winning stories — and all the wonderful stories, poems, and artwork beneath the covers.
Want even more good books for the price of a beer? Pick up the 2022 SiWC bundle to read the 2021 winners!
Saturday is Showcase Day!
On Saturday 21 October, from 5:30-6:30, Pulp Literature is wrapping up this busy week at the SiWC Virtual Author Showcase, hosted by Renée Sarojini Saklikar.
Our very own JM Landels is the feature author. She’ll speak about her bestselling Allaigna’s Song trilogy and her experiences as cofounder and managing editor of Pulp Literature.
And joining JM and the other speakers will be Claire Lawrence, a Pulp Lit triple-threat: author (Issue 30), cover artist (Issue 39), and Magpie Award-winning poet (Issue 40)!
Hope to see you there!
