Anosh Irani, author of B.C. Book Prize nominee The Parcel, is scheduled to discuss the power of his redemption at the North Shore Writers Festival.
The fest opens with a literary quiz presided over by author and amateur hockey goalie Grant Lawrence.
The two day tribute to story arc and character development continues Saturday with tutorials on novel writing, presentations by writers Deborah Campbell and Zoe Whittall and a reception hosted by J.J. Lee, author of The Measure of a Man.
The event includes a presentation by journalist Deborah Campbell, who is scheduled to discuss her undercover account of Syria, A Disappearance in Damascus.
Zoe Whittall is also slated to discuss rape culture, a subject she explores in her book, The Best Kind of People.
