Reading Aloud
I love reading aloud to any willing audience. This week is giving me lots of chances to do so.
- Reading Christmas-y excerpts from Brian Doyle’s Angel Square to my Book Group.
- Reading Draft #5 of a story-in-progress for feedback from one of my writing groups (I’m lucky to have two).
- I’ll be reading that draft to myself too, a number of times, as I do with all my works-in-progress.
- Reading The Outside Circle at the CNIB Recording Studio, to be enjoyed eventually by their visually impaired clients.
- Reading my soon-to-be-released picture book for a video recording, set up by Annick Press.
More about that new book in the new year, but for now…
The characters as charmingly illustrated by Qin Leng

What are your plans for reading aloud this holiday season? No plans? Try it! You might just like it too.
