Ottawa-centric Writing News

Due to personal commitments I am not always able to
update local writing news. However I continue to maintain
The Writer's Deadline!!
where any notable news or events are sent to my list members.

Richard Bercuson: "Assume the position ...journey through prostate cancer"
Richard Bercuson Book: "Assume the position - One guy's journey through prostate cancer"
Richard writes: My new book "Assume the position" is now available. Subtitled "One guy's journey through prostate cancer," it chronicles my journey from early diagnosis to surgery and finally to two years post-op. All of the book's proceeds go to the Prostate Cancer Association of Ottawa which subsidized its publication.

There are cover testimonials from former federal minister Allan Rock, a pc survivor himself, as well as Dr. Chris Morash, a prominent urologist.

Further details as well as excerpts can be found on my new web site,
www.richardbercuson.ca.

The book is available through the web site and is also now in Collected Works Bookstore on
Wellington at Holland. Further bookstore locations to come. A media campaign will begin shortly as the book will be promoted at various cancer and prostate cancer events both locally and across Canada. It is also highlighted on the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network's site, http://www.cpcn.org/02_whatsnew.htm, and has been featured in the Ottawa Hospital's Challenge magazine.

Readers of this listserv can obtain copies by writing to me at richard[at]richardbercuson.ca. Retail price is $15 + $2 shipping. Purchasing through the web site involves using PayPal which is slightly more.
