Denman Island Readers’ and Writers’ Festival Changes Selection Process

community · May 2020 · Activity Centre Lounge, Denman Island

Starting in 2020, the Denman Island Readers’ and Writers’ Festival will change from a first-come selection method to an audition process for local writers to present their work. Writers who did not read the previous year will audition and be juried by peers based on writing, presentation, and timing. The local Writers Group meets every third Sunday from September to June for practice.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
