Readers across the valley and beyond have the chance to experience an interactive virtual reading series featuring nearly a dozen Read Local Okanagan writers.
“Readings, and art in general, can be such a balm during tough times, so we thought hosting a literary reading series online would be a way we could help uplift and connect our community in the only way we can right now,” said Natalie Appleton, a writer and the founder of Read Local Okanagan, a pop-up book stall featuring 52 titles by 24 writers from across the region. “We’re so excited about the lineup of writers and the chance to support arts organizations that support us as writers.”
A portion of the proceeds from the virtual reading series will benefit a handful of arts non-profits across the Okanagan, including Kelowna Friends of Library and the Caetani Cultural Centre.
The webinar-style series allows attendees to interact with writers via chat questions, polling, and a live Q&A session at the end of each reading. Closed captioning will also be available.
