Jan. 18, 2006 seminar: Penetrating niche markets
|
|
|
|
Toronto writers want to know about how to penetrate specialty markets, and it shows. A few dozen scribes attended PWAC Toronto's Jan. 18 seminar, Find Your Niche: How to Tap Into Lucrative Specialty Markets, to glean insights directly from the experts. Offering tips on how to develop knowledge on particular subjects and maintain good relationships with editors were panellists Annette McLeod, automotive editor at The Toronto Sun; I.J. Schecter, prolific freelancer with specialties in bridal and golf publications; and Terry Brodie, Careers editor at The Globe and Mail. As per tradition, audience members and attendees capped off the night with some shmoozing and informal networking downstairs at the Manchester Arms pub.

Crime pays: A look at reporters who cover crime and corruption, featured three stellar crime writers who are doing time (and making money) covering crime:
* Nick Pron, controversial author of Lethal Marriage: The Unspeakable Crimes of Paul Bernardo, and crime writer for the Toronto Star.
* Peter Edwards, award-winning author of One Dead Indian (about the Ipperwash crisis) and Night Justice (about the notorious Donnelly family of southern Ontario), and a Toronto Star staff writer.
* James Dubro, celebrated author of King of the Mob, Dragons of Crime (about Asian gangsters) and Mob Rule: Inside the Canadian Mafia.
The panel was moderated by PWAC's own Nate Hendley, author of Dutch Schultz: The Brazen Beer Baron of New York, Edwin Alonzo Boyd: The Life and Crimes of Canada’s Master Bank Robber, The Black Donnellys: The Outrageous Tale of Canada’s Deadliest Feud and other books.

PWAC TO Holiday Bash 2006
|
|
|
|
On December 5, more than 40 PWAC members and editors mixed and mingled during PWAC Toronto's annual Holiday Party, held at The Supermarket in Kensington Market. It was quite the event, complete with finger food, fun prizes, and lots of chatting and yakking and talking and networking. It's always good for writers to get away from their computers and see other people. Or, as one person said: "Thank you so much for organizing this. I haven't seen anyone other than family members for two weeks!"
