Doug Gibson became an editor at the tender age of 25 and has been immersed in the world of writers and publishing ever since. As Publisher of Macmillan of Canada, and later Editor and Publisher at McClelland & Stewart, Gibson has worked with some of the greatest writers that this country has ever produced. When he tells personal stories about Morley, Mavis, Robertson, Alice or Alistair, he’s entertaining and truthful, showing our much-loved authors in a new light. This evening is cabaret style, inviting us to listen to some stories over drinks and encouraging us to satisfy our curiosity about favourite authors we may have wanted to meet ourselves. Come with your questions and settle in for a great evening of stories about Canada’s storytellers.
