On Monday, May 1st at 8:00 p.m., All Sleek and Skimming: Stories (Orca Book Publishers) will be launching at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen St. W. in Toronto). The book is, according to its editor Lisa Heggum, an anthology of short stories for older teens.
Seven contributors will read at the launch (Gil Adamson, Diana Aspin, Gary Barwin, Susan Kernohan, Derek McCormack, Ania Szado, and Stuart Ross) and Carmen Elle will play solo and then with her band, the Whoremoans. You may remember Carmen from our Spring 2006 launch a few weeks back.
Maggie MacDonald, author of Kill the Robot and member of the Hidden Cameras and Republic of Safety (we profiled Maggie in the Fall 2005 issue of Shameless) has this to say: “Dark, tender, and funny, this is the book I wanted when I was a teen.”

Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
