“It’s a very sad thing it’s all over but I think we did our best for 53 years to offer a good book service and to help to create a knowledgeable reading public,” Celia Duthie told us.

One of the people I talked with last night was Sean Cranbury, organizer of the Real Vancouver Writers Series at the W2 Culture + Media House.

“These evenings are designed to show the city and the world real and diverse Vancouver culture and real creative individuals in the literary and publishing communities at a time when the eyes of the world are on our city,” Sean wrote on the Real Writers blog.

Every Wednesday in February, starting at 7 p.m., a line-up of local writers will hit the stage at W2 (112 West Hastings. Last week was standing room only, so get there early for this week’s line-up that includes: Teresa McWhirter, Lee Henderson, Heather Susan Haley, Nikki Reimer, Chris Hutchinson, Dina Del Bucchia, Amber Dawn, Donato Mancini, Sonnet L’Abbe, Jonathon Wilcke, Catherine Owen, and Meredith Quartermain.
