TheTyee.ca was started in November 2003 by David Beers, who’s renowned for bringing arts and culture news to British Columbians.
The Tyee is an independent alternative daily, and it’s all electronic, meaning you can subscribe to the RSS, you can receive updates via email, you can read and comment in the various forums, and you can enter cool contests.
And now, there’s books!
In addition to the usual mix of reviews, features, essays, interviews, and excerpts, the editors are promising eclectic reading lists, interactive discussions between writers and readers and daily coverage of book news from BC and beyond.
It’s exciting when new Book pages are born.
Here are the links to some of those cool contests I mentioned:
