This has been a heartwarming week, for a few reasons…
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ben Barry, a socially conscious entrepeneur and journalist for Report on Business. He was curious about my self-promotional strategies and the ways they are similar to small business marketing tactics. Click here to check out his column.
On Thursday, I travelled to Thunder Bay, Ontario, which is geographically the centre of Canada. I was met by the very hospitable Carol Anne, Margaret and Terri from Northern Woman’s Bookstore and I did a reading there on Friday night. I enjoyed the friendly feminists I met there–thanks to all of you who came to the event.
Finally, I read at one of PEN Canada’s panels at Word on the Street today. I had a chance to meet with a few people I’d only before connected up with on Facebook and an old friend, Dwayne, from my undergrad days, surprised me by attending the reading. I chatted with Mary Lou Dickinson at the Inanna booth and signed a few copies of Stealing Nasreen there.
Stay tuned for news about my upcoming readings in Vancouver and Victoria…
Oh yes…and don’t forget to vote for MMP!

Hello Farzana!
I met you today at the Inanna booth on Word on the Street where I was assisting Leslie in selling books… I wish I had been able to see your reading, I heard many positive comments about it after. I wound up buying a copy of your book for my mum! 🙂
Best of luck!
Katy
