Glacier Park author to discuss book business

Canadian author Ray Djuff will present a talk on “Glacier from the inside out – Creation of a book from concept to printing” at Flathead Valley Community College’s Arts and Technology Building, Room 144, on Friday, Oct. 12, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Djuff is co-producer of seven books about Glacier and Waterton national parks, including “View With a Room: Glacier’s Historic Hotels and Chalets,” “Waterton and Glacier in a Snap!” and “High on a Windy Hill – The Story of the Prince of Wales Hotel.”

Djuff will address the challenges he and his co-editor Chris Morrison faced including gathering 30 years of stories, deciding how to pare the selections for publication, figuring out how to categorize the selected stories into chapters, getting copyright releases for writers long since deceased, acquiring appropriate art, and finding a publisher.
