For eight years Nose in Book published an annual collection of memoir writing by a group of seniors at Castle Wood Village in Castlegar, B.C. who called themselves the Lifewriters. Members of the group varied from year to year under the consistent supervision of the late Jan de Bruyn (1918–2017), the former UBC English professor who was the first editor of Prism literary magazine (now Prism international). These books were published in an edition of 100 copies each and are now out of print.
