For all those lovers of true stories told live onstage, I’m pleased to announce that my CREW 202 class is hosting the first ever It’s A True Story SLAM at the Vault in Nanaimo this coming Tuesday, December 6, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.-ish.
Storytellers include Jessica Skelton, Mary Fraughton, Kaitlyn Till, Louis Stevenson, Sam Connelly, Brittny Ohs, MJ McGeragle, Iona Lister, Carly, Bonny and Martha!
On the judge’s card we have New York Times bestselling author Chevy Stevens, acclaimed author and director of UBC’s Optional Residency MFA in Creative Writing Andrew Gray and editor and professor extraordinaire Joy Gugeler.
The first round of stories blew me away. Seriously. It left me nearly bald or at least thinned my bangs. But in a good way. I hope you’ll join us for the Grand Prize Round.
The Vault is located at 499 Wallace St. in Nanaimo.
