Choyce words

Halifax, NS ~ Lawrencetown author and publisher Lesley Choyce is challenging both the province’s MLAs and MPs to beef up their summer reading by offering them a free copy of the latest release from Pottersfield Press; Nova Scotia: Visions of the Future.

Nova Scotia: Visions of the Future is a forward-looking anthology of 44 of the region’s finest writers and thinkers putting forth their personal vision of the province for the years ahead.

“This is a very diverse – and sometimes very surprising – collection of writing,” notes Choyce. “I believe that it serves as an important document of where we are now and where we are headed and that our leaders could learn a great deal from reading it.”

The compilation includes contributions by the likes of former NS Premier Rodney MacDonald, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and award-winning authors Farley Mowat, Tom Gallant, Marq de Villiers, Budge Wilson and Harry Thurston

An official launch party will take place on Thursday, July 9 at Stayner’s Wharf on the Halifax waterfront from 6pm-8pm and is open to the public.

Choyce has extended a personal invitation to MLAs and MPs from across the province to attend. “I’ll make sure they get a copy of the book, one way or another.”

Nova Scotia: Visions of the Future is available at bookstores throughout the province and through Nimbus Publishing; 1.800.NIMBUS9 / customerservice@nimbus.ca
