Have you heard about The Blue Pencil Cafe? In addition to Pitch the Publisher, we also host The Blue Pencil Cafe at The Word On The Street Halifax (September 15, 2018 at the Halifax Central Library) to provide potential authors with targeted feedback from a professional editor. Each selected applicant will have 15 minutes to discuss their work with the editor and we’ll make every effort to match the author with an editor who works in that genre.

To apply, email Chantelle at admin@atlanticpublishers.ca with a 3-page (double-spaced, 12 point type) excerpt from the work you would like critiqued, a short biography outlining your writing experience (no more than 250 words), and your contact information (email, daytime phone, city of residence).

The deadline to submit is September 3, and those selected will be contacted on September 11th with the time and details for their 15 minute session.

Your editor will read your submission to become familiar with it before you meet. More information can be found here: atlanticbookstoday.ca/pitch-the-publisher-and-the-blue-pencil-cafe-return-to-word-on-the-street/ ...

A historical novel set in 1904 in the aftermath of a large storm just off the coast, Secrets of Sable Island (Nimbus Publishing and Vagrant Press) follows two strangers, Caleb and Marin, as they enter young adulthood and are faced with a series of difficult situations. Caleb’s harrowing arrival on the shores of the island forces him to confront the loss of his family and navigate a series of demanding realities. Marin’s time in “her paradise” is threatened and she must confront her bad-tempered father, nurse her sick mother and stand up against a crew of men who threaten the livelihood of the infamous island horses.
