Whistler Writers hike to Lost Lake for author readings

The 2017 Whistler Writers Festival kicked off with Comedy Quickies, and featured readings by winners of the Whistler Independent Book Awards. The weekend was choc a bloc with writers' events including pitch opportunities with editors from across the country. Sunday morning, we drank hot chocolate before following Grant Lawrence on a walk to Lost Lake, pausing for readings by Leacock medalist Terry Fallis, filmmaker-journalist Mark Leiren-Young and memoirist Shelley O'Callaghan. A great time.
