A Taste of Montreal
Bienvenue à Montréal!
Where else can you find a circus school, the pickled heart of a saint, and
more feral cats per capita than anywhere else on the continent?
And that's only the beginning...
Montreal is a city of contradictions: subtle and sophisticated, yet as
down-to-earth as a bag of take-out poutine. Exhilarating, exasperating, and
full of surprises, this city of many faces is never dull.
What's not to love? Listen up while the Quebec members of PWAC share what
makes Montreal a city with soul.

FAQ on A Taste of Montreal
Q. How much am I gonna get paid fer this?
Q. What if I can't think of anything original?
Q. My thoughts are exceptionally magnificent, and can hardly be boiled down
to a scant 150 words. What shall I do?
Q. But I'm so busy! I have a brochure to prepare, a terrorist communiqué
to draft, I'm proofreading the galleys of my second novel, plus the dog
needs to be wormed. You think I've got time to spare?
Q. When would you like to receive my humble submission?
Q. Can I go home?
To anyone who has read this far, thank you for your time. I dearly hope
you'll think about what you might want an outsider to know about our fair
city, then massage your reflections into the shape of something we can use
on the website. Muchas gracias in advance.
Gotta go -- I've a couple of ideas that need coaxing up out of the cellar.
See ya later.
Cheers,
by Kathe Lieber

A. You must be joking. You get paid in glory!
A. That never stopped [insert name of famous writer you dislike].
A. Stop eating bran. It has a bad effect on your writing.
A. Good for you: punchy and full of personality, in only 37 words!
Hardly took any time at all, did it?
A. Whenever the hell you get it done. Yesterday would be nice, but
tomorrow will do. Failing that, in the fullness of time. This website will
be off life support in November. Please plan accordingly.
A. Yes! Because you're going to work on your submission to "A Taste of
Montreal." Right?
