The Calgary Children's Book Fair
and Conference
The Calgary Children's Book Fair and Conference, featuring local children's authors and illustrators in Calgary and the surrounding area, will be held on Saturday, November 27, 2010 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Centre in north west Calgary.
The Calgary Children's Book Fair and Conference will once again feature the Children's Fiction Writing Award. Children in four age categories will unleash their own incredible imaginations to create a truly unique story, in the genres of science fiction, fantasy or mystery. The winning entries, to be announced at the Book Fair and Conference on November 27, will then be published in an anthology. You can read the 2009 winning stories here and learn more about how to register for the Children's Fiction Writing Award here.
The Calgary Children's Book Fair and Conference represents a fabulous opportunity for children to meet local writers, chat with them about their work and obtain an autographed and personally inscribed copy of a favourite book. All participating authors will also be reading from their own work, followed by a short question and answer period, throughout the day.
This year's conference will once again feature a number of highly informative presentations by authors, illustrators, publishers and industry professionals throughout the day. Topics to be covered at last year's event included character development, science fiction and fantasy writing, the art of illustration, marketing and promotion, methods of research and publishing your novel and the agenda for the 2010 conference promises to be just as impressive.
