A bit about the Rowers Pub Reading Series:
We are the new kid on the block, incorporating in May 2007. We feature both poets and fiction writers on the same night,
and will present a diverse line-up. We will tend to present established writers, but there will be a few spots for those
who are just starting their career, but are writing at a very high level. We plan on presenting the best poets and fiction writers we can find,
with an emphasis on Canadian writers, but will have some international writers as well.
The doors open at 7:30, and we anticipate the first reader to begin reading at about 7:45. There will normally be two
other featured readers, each of whom reads for 20 minutes, with 15 minute breaks in between. The evening should be over by 9:30 p.m.,
but people do hang around after. There is no open stage. |

| We run the first Wednesday of the month, October - May, and the second Wednesday
in June, in order not to conflict with the Griffin readings. The Directors of the Rowers Pub Reading Series are: Ian Burgham,
David Clink, Catherine Graham, Ned Hagerman, and Halli Villegas.
