 It's that time of year... The Canadian Writers' Contest Calendar lists Canadian writing contests and awards for the year arranged by deadline date, and is cross-referenced by contest name and sponsor. If you think that you'd ever have time to write and still know where to find all this information, collect it, and organize it, call me. Anyone who says they could compile all of this on their own, has never tried to do it.  Great gift for the writers on your list. It's the nicest encouragement a writer can receive, aside from an acceptance letter. If your group has a writing contest we should be including in the 2017 edition, we need to know before Oct 15th, 2016. Plenty of time for your group to plan. Submit contest information by mail or email at any time of year; new information may be listed on the Updates page, so don't wait. |

Features and Upcoming Releases | ||
 Cobalt ~The Cradle of Hard Rock Mining in Canada By Doug Baldwin is a beautiful colour pictorial outlining the Cobalt silver camp beginnings in 1904 through to 1924, and to present day. 59 photos, diagrams and maps are coupled with quotations from the experts and media of the times to present this overview of Cobalt history as clearly, simply and concisely as possible. |  Missing in Cobalt by Terry Cassidy is a fictional account of a murder mystery set in Cobalt in the late 1940s, early 1950s. While the story is fictional, the setting in Cobalt vintage the late 1940s is vividly portrayed. Feedback so far is as I experienced it: readers couldn't put the book down. Cover is from a painting of Cobalt by George Cassidy, Terry's father. |

 Did You Ever Wonder...A Story of the Báb as a Child is a children's story about the Báb as a Child. The Báb (1819-1850) is the Forerunner of one of the world's fastest growing religions today, the Bahá'í Faith. Using carefully gathered information about the Báb, author Will C. van den Hoonaard has created a unique story that will interest children between the ages of 6 and 11. Artist Gloria Savoie, one of Eastern Canada's better known artists, has specially created unique drawings to accompany this story. Together they succeed in making the Báb a figure closer to the heart and understanding, fostering the love of the Faith. | ||
