Stuff a Stocking, Support UVic Students

Looking for a last-minute stocking stuffer for that writer on your Christmas list? Pick up a copy of The 2001 Writer's Block Calendar, a desk calendar chock-full of handy writing tips assembled by UVic English professors Dr. Kim Blank and Michael Cullen. This is a new, second version of the popular calendar, which is designed for students, teachers, editors or anyone interested in good writing. "This calendar does for writers what snow does for skiers, what ham does for cheese, what grass does for cows," quips Blank. "Advice, rules motivation; this calendar has it all and still has time to give you the day and date." The calendar is also a fundraiser -- each $10 sale provides $1 for the UVic student bursary fund. It's available at many Victoria-area bookstores.
