In Silhouette: Profiles of Alberta Writers
As Bob Stallworthy’s writing career grew and as his involvement with the Writers Guild of Alberta also grew, it occurred to him that there were a lot of writers working in the province who didn’t know about each other. This was particularly evident within the Guild as it began to increase in membership. He volunteered to write “profiles” of members for the Guild’s newsletter/magazine, WestWord. In Silhouette collects these and other new profiles in one place, the rationale for this e-book being that, if individual writers are still not sure who else is working in Alberta as a writer, the chances are pretty good that non-writers will not know either.
The criterion for inclusion is, at a minimum, having at least one book, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or children’s work, published by a recognized publisher. Almost all people profiled live in Alberta. You will find a few who live outside the province who, nevertheless, built much of their career while living here. They are all hard working writers. Some you have already met through reading their work. Many, you may not have met before. It is our great pleasure to introduce you to them.
(Note: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or similar software to read the e-book. To avoid compatibility problems, you should also have the latest version of the software.)
