News & Notes

Moving into September

The Collective has been active in the community attending several night markets.  It’s been great fun showing our books and connecting to community especially meeting other writers and readers.

This Thursday, September 1st will be the last market of the season. We’re celebrating locally with a draw for books by some of our authors. No cost to enter – you just have to come to the market between 5 and 7:30pm to enter the draw and be able to pick up your prize in Sooke, either at the market or by arrangement. The winner will be announced at 7:45! Come on down!!
