Callaghan, Quarrington, Carmody, Cohen - Word on the Street is more than a Book Bazaar



http://www.movingstories.tv/ -- Perhaps its his self-effacing charm that has made Ben McNally a bookselling hero to publishers and customers alike. He certainly is a good-looking chap, don't you think? Visit his new store at Bay and Richmond and you'll see exactly what we mean, on both counts!

In the meantime, we've captured just a wee bit of the other activities that happen in Queen's Park Circle during The Word on The Street. It hosts all kinds of readings from luminaries such as Barry Callaghan (Between Trains); Tish Cohen (Town House); How to's seminars from the likes of Paul Quarrington on Writing Across Genres for Humber School for Writers; and Storyteller Bruce Carmody at the Children's Activity Tent. It even brings folks like Jon Pressick, Lars-Peter Bjornson (BookTelevision) and Anne Mroczkowski (CityTV) off the screen and onto the stage, hosting musical artists of the caliber of Earl La Pierre Jr, who definately got folks moving to the beat.

With thanks to all the interviewees in this third of three installments, and a special thanks to Tony Tobias for his fantastic still photographs included in the montage. (c) 2007 BookShorts.com
