The Askew’s Word on the Lake Anthology

From our Contest Sponsor — Askew’s

Since its inception, Askew’s has sponsored the Word on the Lake Writer’s Festival. This festival encourages new, emerging, and seasoned writers to celebrate the full diversity of the word and the gifted writers who guide us in our exploration through their stories and poetry.

Listening to storytelling, writing, or reading a book builds bridges to a world of fellow readers. Askew’s believes our sponsorship of this writer’s festival provides value to our over­all community by supporting our creative community, which contributes to the health of all with the sharing of creativity and knowledge. The sharing of creativity can then produce goodwill by establishing a sense of connection with the listening, read­ing, and writing audience.

Askew’s ongoing presence in the community for the past ninety-five years has given us the opportunity to help sup­port Salmon Arm’s rich population of writers and storytellers through sponsorship of this festival, which we are proud to support.
