Special event for readers

On September 14 and 15, in the Village district of Mont-Tremblant, there’ll be a second annual event called Sur la Piste des Auteurs (On the Trail of Authors). Twenty or so tents will be set up along the multifunctional trail and on Lac Mercier beach. They will house thirty authors of books, poetry, stories and songs as well as visual artists who incorporate words into their works.

The event is free and open to all. Whatever your literary interests, you’re sure to find something to treasure.

Fun and festive

Sur la piste des Auteurs promises to be a colourful, lively weekend. The program is packed: interviews, youth-oriented shows with Jean-Pierre Veillet, stories, poetry and music, an intimate concert with Hélène Beauchamp, a book launch, a words rally that will bring smiles to young and old, and writing workshops such as that hosted by Fredrick D’Anterny.

Visitors will be able to chat with authors such as Diane Descoteaux, of international fame, and Gilles Matte, a well-known poet recently made responsible for the Hélène Dorion collection of 1200 books.

Famous people

Again this year, famous author Alain Stanké will be the honorary president. He has also agreed to the creation of the Alain Stanké award so that the value of authors in all categories, taken together, will be celebrated this year.

The contest, aimed at journalists and freelance writers, will bring into play the expertise of Colette Chabot, writer and founder of radio station CIME-FM; of Jocelyne Cazin, host/entertainer and author; and of Marilou Séguin, news director of the newspaper Information du Nord. The three journalists will be present at the event.

In conclusion, whether they’re writers, journalists or speakers…all word creators will share with visitors their passion for the word, which, after all, is the event’s theme.
