Listen, learn and keep it to yourself: Nonfiction #2

The next edition of Nonfiction is taking place Wednesday, September 19 at the Drake Hotel Underground, 115o Queen Street West, Toronto, 9 p.m. (entry: $5.30). It's "a place for journalists of all kinds to tell stories that never made it to the public: stories killed by editors, blocked by producers, or self-censored by journalists themselves. These are the stories usually told privately, between journalists, and over drinks." Only catch: what's heard there is supposed to stay there, not to be reprinted or broadcast or repeated in conversation. Surprisingly (maybe not, we're Canadians after all) this stricture worked pretty well the first time.

Featured speakers this time:

• Ian Brown (and friends) on going long
• " Ouimet" on clandestine corporate blogging
• Paul Terefenko on why he recorded the last Nonfiction
• Michael Adler one the one thousand indignities of writing for a community newspaper
• Jason Anderson on film junket junkies
• Kathryn Borel on why her therapist refuses to prescribe her antipsychotics despite her looming book deadline
• The whole hosted by Jesse Brown; produced by Kathryn Borel, Jesse Brown, Ian Daffern, Jeremy Gans, Sheila Heti, Geoff Siskind, Dave Wells
