CKPL seeking local writers who reside in Chatham-Kent

CHATHAM-KENT — Chatham-Kent Public Library is inviting all Chatham-Kent based authors to join them for a virtual ‘Read Local: CK Author Festival’, to be presented on CKPL’s social media platforms, starting Saturday, April 10.

The ‘Read Local: CK Author Festival’ will be a virtual event, featuring local authors presenting their publications. The Festival will be an opportunity for authors to share their work and experience with aspiring writers and viewers and to promote their work.

Anyone from Chatham-Kent who has written and published a book — in print form or as an ebook — is welcome to apply.

All authors are asked to submit an application to be considered for this event. Authors who have participated in past “Read Local: CK Author Festival” events are welcome to apply; however, preference will be given to authors who have not participated before.

Please email cklibrary@chatham-kent.ca for an application. Applications are due by Monday, March 15. Authors can also contact the library for more information at 519.354.2940.
