As you may already know, NOW HEAR THIS! was proud to launch our fantastic anthology, The Barracuda, into the world last Wednesday. The Barracuda is full of writing by participants from the 2009 S.W.A.T. Program — and it's a pretty gorgeous book, too (if we do say so ourselves!).
If you haven't seen a copy of The Barracuda yet, head out to your favourite bookstore or magazine stand and check to see if they've got one in stock! Or, better yet, you can buy one at the Descant online store! (Isn't technology amazing?)
And if you keep reading after the jump you'll see some fantastic photos from our fabulous fête!
A view of the crowd — what a great turn out!
