SUMMARY:Writing Outside the Box: a Workshop on Edgy Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Interested in examining unsettling or edgy themes but don’t know how to get started? Nervous about writing outside the usual rules of CanLit? This workshop series is designed to help writers of any medium\, genre or experience level learn to start pushing boundaries with their work. \nFull of provocative exercises and frank discussion\, these fun and interactive sessions will provide participants with tips and techniques that will help build confidence in working with the unusual\, the taboo and the experimental. \nStudents will be asked to read aloud from their work and to provide feedback to other participants. Students will also receive written feedback from the instructor as the course progresses. \nTracey Waddleton is a Newfoundland writer living in Montréal. Her work has been published in Riddle Fence\, NQ\, the Cuffer Anthology and elsewhere. A finalist for the NLCU Fresh Fish Award for Emerging Writers and recipient of the 2015 Lawrence Jackson Writers’ Award\, Waddleton’s work has been described as weird and wonderful minimalist dark realism. Her first book\, Send More Tourists… the Last Ones Were Delicious\, was published in July of 2019. She is the inaugural recipient of the Quebec Writers’ Federation Max Margles Writing Residency and is scheduled to spend a month writing in Dublin in 2021. \nFor details\, please see event link.
