FictionKNITstas

The Spring 2013 FictionKNITstas include Lisa Bird-Wilson, with her debut novel Just Pretending; Nicole Dixon reading from her smart and sexy collection of stories High-Water Mark; Dora Dueck, author of the short story collection What You Get at Home; and Faith Johnston, author of the debut novel The Only Man in the World. Your host for the evening is the incomparable Charlene Diehl, writer, editor, performer, director of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival, and the author of Out of Grief, Singing.

FICTIONistas is a national book tour organized by Canadian independent publishers. Established in 2006, the FICTIONista tour annually showcases the best of Canadian women writers. This year, each author has been paired up with a knitter (putting the “KNIT” in fictionKNITsta) who has created a garment in response to the book. Throughout the tour, each author will model a hand-knitted garment or accessory created by her designated knitter that relates somehow to her book.
