Hi! My name is crystal fletcher and I'm the host of all about canadian books. Welcome to this week’s author reading and manuscript submission tips from author and founder of Pedlar Press Beth Follett. 

For twenty-five years Beth published innovative, contemporary Canadian fiction, poetry and the occasional nonfiction. Beth says, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! After you listen to Beth you will know why I capitalized her advice. 

If you missed our behind the book interview, you can click the link below to watch Beth discuss how yoga inspired her novel Instructor which was published by Breakwater Books.

There will also be a link at the end of this video.

Here's what Instructor is about: When Ydessa Bloom’s husband dies in a Cessna crash in a mid-Ontario lake, she rents a cottage at that lake, without really comprehending why, and stays for three months. There she meets three people who will influence her life dramatically—her landlady, a yoga teacher, and a precocious eight-year-old boy named Henry Rattle.

Years later, at the age of twenty-five and reeling from personal tragedy, Henry seeks Ydessa out once again, and they find themselves alone on the day of the Northeast blackout, drawn into an encounter that will change them both.
