UNBC Writer's Fest Starts Later This Week

March 5, 2003 For Immediate Release

The second annual UNBC writer's festival is starting tomorrow, presenting local writers and others from across Canada during a series of events around Prince George.
Just West of Unruly 2 is featuring a total of 23 writers who will be presenting their works during 10 events throughout Prince George from March 6-22.
"Last year, our first annual event was a big success," says UNBC English professor Rob Budde. "It's really a great opportunity for the University and the English program to put on an event that is of interest to students, faculty, and the entire community. None of the events have an admission charge, and they provide the chance for writers at all levels to get together and talk about what they love to do. We think it's important to present local writers and writers from across Canada to provide local people with an exposure to what others are doing while showcasing the great talent we have right in Prince George."
Information about each of the ten Just West of Unruly 2 presentations is available on the UNBC website at www.unbc.ca/events.
