The Sunshine Coast Arts Council, under the guidance of a Literary Reading Committee, sponsors a series of readings each year. Authors make a selection to read from their texts, followed by a discussion with the audience. The Literary Readings create intimate encounters between authors and Sunshine Coast audiences and readers, serving to enhance our appreciation of the wealth, breadth and exciting variety of Canadian literature.

As a result of COVID-19 we are offering our program of literary readings via Zoom. Details of how to access Zoom and to register for the program of readings are provided once you register.

Literary Series Committee: Dick Harrison, Paddy Blenkinsop, Daniel Heath Justice, Sheenah Main, Andrea Dancer

Novelist and short-story writer Kathy Page was born in the UK and has been living in Canada since 2001. She is the author of eight novels, each very different to the others. Her most recent, Dear Evelyn won the 2018 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Complex characters and compelling narrative are Page’s trademarks, as is suspense, both psychological and existential. Kathy Page’s work is sometimes dark, but it is also profoundly optimistic. She has identified her themes as “loss, survival, and transformation: the magic by which a bad hand becomes a good chance”.
