We are doing it!
The 2022 Chanticleer Authors Conference
and the
2021 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards Banquet & Ceremony
After much pivoting and then some more pivoting due to Covid’s impact, we are having (knock-on-wood, fingers-crossed, throwing salt over our left shoulders) our first In-Real-Life conference since 2019! And we are so excited!
Exciting plans for this weekend:
Master Writing Class – Film Techniques for Writing Fiction
Thursday, June 23, 1 – 4:30 p.m. Jessica Morrell presents.
How film techniques can be translated onto the page from viewpoint to mastering props and subtext. It begins with making powerful choices and identifying key moments that need emphasis, when to whisper and suggest, and when to stage and let the camera roll.
This class is being offered In Real Life and ALSO will be ZOOMED LIVE from the Hotel Bellwether’s Compass Room on June 23rd from 1 – 4:30 p.m. The recording will be available for seven days for later viewing for those who have registered for the Master Writing Class In Real Life OR Virtual.

But that’s not all!

2021 CIBA Banquet and Ceremony on June 25, 2022

We hope to see you IRL or VIRTUALLY at CAC22
A little backstory:
Our 2020 CAC was virtual (VCAC20 held in September 2020). We were hoping that 2021 would be IRL, but alas, it was virtually held also – in two parts: a virtual conference (VCAC21) in April and the 2020 CIBA Ceremonies in June. We were at least able to have a few of our local Chanticleerians to join us at the Hotel Bellwether here in Bellingham where we broadcasted (Zoomed) the events.
Now, we are finally able to gather IRL (In Real Life). CAC22 was originally scheduled for early April, but Covid numbers ramped up (extremely so) in January and February. We decided to err on the side of prudence with moving the conference to June — the only weekend that the Hotel Bellwether had available. Pivot. Pivot. Pivot.
And, now, the weekend is upon us! Due to many requests, we are offering the conference virtually along with the IRL conference. If any of you have had to offer HYBRID events, you will know how challenging it is logistically and technology-wise. Thank goodness for Argus Brown, Kiffer’s husband and IT guy to make the virtual-hybrid-live conference take place.
The 2021 CIBA Banquet and Ceremony is sponsored and hosted by CAC22. It can be confusing, since the awards program runs a year behind the actual conference year. We are now accepting 2022 CIBA entries. The CIBA 2022 awards will be presented at CAC23. July 15th, 2022 we begin accepting 2023 entries in several divisions as submission deadlines are met. 2023 CIBAs winners will be announced at CAC24. And, so on.
We hope that you will join us!
