On Saturday, September 10, 2011, The Writers’ Community of Durham Region (WCDR) is thrilled to kick off the fall season with a breakfast meeting featuring one of Canada’s most acclaimed journalists and non-fiction writers. Ian Brown, author of The Boy in the Moon: A Father’s Search for his Disabled Son will be our guest speaker. The heart wrenching memoir of the daily physical and emotional struggles faced by the author as parent of a disabled child won the Trillium Award, the B.C. National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction and the Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction. The breakfast event promises to be an exceptional learning opportunity as Ian Brown will share his advice and experience on building a career in non-fiction writing.
