Says Big Demand For Works By Canadian Authors

Ataotlzneintiiepastwerethe works of Canadian authors so eagerly sought by Canadian pub- lishers as it is today. was the en- couraging news given last night w the Charlottetown branch of the Canadian Author’; Association by Mr. Roderick S. Kennedy, presi- dent of the rational orkanimton

Mr. Kennedy delivered his in- formative and interesting address before a full attendance of the local branch ‘of the Association at ‘the home 0f Mrs. 100i.) KS. Rogers, who is president of the Charlottetown branch.

The speaker stressed the uizlquc position ‘n which tihc Canadian author finds himself or herself to- day. Before the war, when there was no Stilftilhy of news either in Eng andvor the United States, the L-nadum writer was handicapped because the Cana- dian publisher hesitated w under- write a new writer because of the monetary icss involved should the writer fail "to clck." He preferred to allow his English and especially his American publisher-rival‘ take the risk.

Today. however, with the quota system affecting all forelgr. pub- lishers, the Canadian publisher must encourrh.» budding writers in his own country. Ncr 1s he hesitant to do so, as in former years. Mr. Kennedy said Works like Grace Campbells "Before the Apple Tree" and Hugh l/fchellanb “Barometer Rising" have shown Canadian pub- lishers that outstanding merit is to be found in Canada and that. nat- urally. there ls also much la-tcnt talent.

The impression, entertained by many young writers, that they must livc 1r, or near a large centre in order to be able to market tlie‘r literary output is ar. erroneous one, Mr. Kennedy told nis listeners. If there is one person, Mr. Ker.- ncay pointed out, whom a busy editor docs nct want. l0 sec, it l5 a would-ice author The editor lS only interested in the work oi the author and not in his personal ap- pearance. Laosr on, after th wriwr [Hi5 sclil some 0f h s "stuff" and circus signs ci promise, the editor will be very glad to talk to him but until that time the author's

illage has
