Hi, Brian.
I am organizing a literary
event in Toronto and, at this point, I'm trying to recruit writers who might be
interested in taking advantage of the opportunity to read their work. I've
posted the details below. If you would have any way to connect Toronto writers
with this opportunity, I'd be very grateful.
Wayne
Salon of the Refused
https://salonoftherefused.ca/2023/08/22/salon-of-the-refused-toronto/
You are invited to participate in a literary event that takes its inspiration from the 1863 Salon des Refusés. It is a celebration of writing that was initially rejected. It is also a celebration of marginalized communities who often feel rejected by mainstream society.
If you have a poem or a work of micro-fiction whose value went
unrecognized when you first submitted it to either a literary journal or
competition, regardless whether it was eventually published or not, we invite
you to give your work redemption in front of a live audience.
7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Trinity-St Paul's, Memorial Room
427 Bloor St W, Toronto (Map here)
Time limit for each author:
10 minutes maximum
Word limit: Either a short
work of under 1,500 words or an excerpt of similar length from a longer piece
If you are interested in
contributing your writing to this event, please send email to the event
organizer (Wayne Johnston) at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca
In your email, please
include the following:
- Your name
- Your preferred method of contact (email or
text)
- Title of the piece(s) you will read
- Brief bio statement
- How many supporters (friends and family) will
be with you? (to ensure we don't exceed the space limitations)
- Would you like to sell and/or disseminate your
work at the event?
Also, please attach to the
email whatever it is you intend to read.
If you have any questions,
please email me at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca
