Cloverfield Literary Festival of Authors



Cloverfield Literary Festival of Authors (CLFA) will be held in VERY LATE October 2010 at The Ossington in Toronto. "We hope to avoid past disasters related to this festival such as in 2008," says publicist Leah McMillan. At press time rumoured readers include Lindsay Tipping, Evie Christie, Spencer Gordon of Ferno House Fame, Angela Hibbs (local poetry fanatic and author of Wanton) and Ewan Whyte who will be trained in the art of the brief reading.

And the enigmatic Christine Estima has confirmed her appearance.

"We can't confirm any of these people yet, as we are awaiting some important information via Friendster," McMillan says. "All we can guarantee is that this will be a very dangerous literary event. We're putting the danger back in literature."

Other rumoured appearances include the 2009 Indie Writers Deathmatch champion herself Natalie Pendergast.

There will be costumes and halloween type fun.

If you are a publisher interested in having your author read, please contact Nathaniel G. Moore at assisteditor@brokenpencil.com

Publishers and authors are welcome to sell books and suggest authors etc.
