CANSCAIP Monthly Membership Meeting: Panel Discussion

In a virtual meeting for CANSCAIP Members and Friends across Canada, I’ll be speaking with panelists S.K. Ali and Nadia Hohn as well as moderator Glen Huser about our faculty and student experiences in writing programs and schools.

Have you considered a degree in creative writing? What degrees are out there? What is the workload? What can you gain? And – is it worth the money?

Date and Time: March 10, 7 p.m. ET
Guests are welcome, and can contact office@canscaip.org to request the Zoom link.


Fresh Stories for a New World: Finding Your Stories Through a Practice of Side-Writing

As part of SCBWI Canada East’s Digging Deeper series, I’ll be delivering a virtual workshop.

Our world has been going through extraordinary changes, and so have we as writers. Who are you now? What stories are currently simmering within you, waiting to be told?

In this hands-on workshop, I’ll explore how to tap into ourselves and our stories through the practice of side-writing, which refers to stepping away from the story on the page to explore the raw heart of it through creative exercises. You’ll explore how side-writing can help us to write true to ourselves, plumb the emotional depths of our characters to better connect to readers, and spark joy and play in our writing.

Date and Time: April 10, 1 to 2 p.m. ET
Cost for members:
$15
Registration closes at noon on April 8.
