He has lived in Squamish for 10 years, and is currently writing a novel set in Whistler, which he hopes will make it possible for him to afford to live there.

The gala will be held at Uli's Flipside, starting at 8 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday nights. Local authors will share the stage with a number of professional writers from Vancouver.

Whistler participants include Stella Harvey (founder of The Vicious Circle), as well as members Stephen Vogler, Brandi Higgins, Lara Bozabalian, Lisa Richardson, Jennifer Cowan, Rebecca Wood Barrett and Sara Leach.
