The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts is marking 40 years of bringing Canadian readers and writers together, so instead of the Festival preview podcast we usually release this time of year we're taking you on an audio tour of our history. Part 2 tells the story of Jane Davidson's 15 years with the Festival, the Legacy of Literacy, the impact of the pandemic and the appointment of our new Artistic and Executive Director, who takes the reins in the fall, and festival memories through the voices of Jane, past presidents Jean Bennet and Wendy Hunt, incoming AED Marisa Alps, a few of our past authors and the Founding Mothers. Visit www.writersfestival.ca for information on this year's line up, tickets and more!
