Brian Kaufman will tell us about the history of Anvil Press and his life as the company’s chief executive, explain what brings him to his working desk every morning, and what drives his pursuits. Also, how he evaluates the many manuscripts he receives, how he selects the books that Anvil Press will publish, and what are some of the rewards and pitfalls of being in the book business in Canada. Especially now, in the post pandemic times. He will answer your questions, so be sure to bring some good ones to the presentation. It should be an interesting evening.
