This three-week residency encourages the exploration of new ideas in literary journalism (creative non-fiction) and experimentation in writing. Designed to challenge and stimulate, the program aims to inspire creative pieces of non-fiction and to assist the writers in their completion.

Writers will have time to:

work on their manuscripts in their individual studios.
consult with faculty members Manjula Martin, Dr. Cheryl Thompson, Shawn Micallef, and professional guest Dan Wells (Biblioasis).
participate in group discussions.

Faculty will provide mentorship and one-on-one workshops to discuss:

story ideas.
craft concepts such as voice and structure.
challenges writers may be encountering with their literary journalism.

The faculty will offer mentorship for the first two weeks, with the last week for participants to focus on digging deep into their writing.
