Out-take: Anita Daher

I'm calling this an out-take, but it's mostly a preview of an upcoming HOT AIR feature that I'm calling Reading Copy.

(Thanks THIN AIR's School Stage YA author Anita Daher for providing me with the opportunity...and the photos!)



Based on The Guardian Review's Writers'Rooms, Reading Copy will give HOT AIR audiences an insight into how writers prepare for readings.

How it works is this: after finding an author amenable to such things, I'll photograph the text they use to read from, whether it's a sheet of 8.5" X 11" with a large-print poem suitable for the podium or a copy of their book with strike-outs and underlining.

Then, I'll get them to comment on how they prepare their texts to prepare to read.



So, look for Anita Daher's Reading Copy over the next couple of days...in the meantime, check out her excellent blog.


Anita Daher will be appearing at THIN AIR, Winnipeg International Writers Festival:
September 24 - School Stage, with Cary Fagan.
September 25 - School Stage, with Sidura Ludwig.
