The Summer Dream Reading Festival
In 2006 The
Summer Dream Reading Festival encompassed 17 literary groups, 3 bands,
information tables and performances of Poetry, Story Telling, Spoken Word.
Our vision is to bring together the literary community
to promote the on-going events, programs and resources available to the public.
Due to the strong support from the city and community
we have seen this event grow each year. Photos and detailed information for the 2006 Summer Dream Reading Festival can be viewed below.

BASIC CHAPBOOK DESIGN
& MARKETING WORKSHOP
Facilitated
by poet, performer, and long-time graphic designer, S.R. Duncan.
(3 – 4pm)
Be your own
publisher. Join the ranks of literary giants like Hunter S. Thompson,
and Ray Bradbury and learn how to create a chapbook (your very own
professional-looking published booklet) step-by-step, from editing through basic
graphic design, right through to distribution.
We go on to
look
at the benefits and pitfalls of self-publishing,
offer various modern and rare
examples of this ancient type of publication,
give you tips for marketing and
publicizing your book on a shoestring budget!
A basic knowledge of computers and
word processing programs like Microsoft Word is required.
