SUMMARY:Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Writing Residencies!
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever longed to get away to write? Do you have a manuscript that needs uninterrupted time and attention away from your everyday life? Is your writing practice in a rut? Writing residencies are ideal for focusing time on large projects\, meeting other artists\, and re-booting your creative life. \n\n\n\nIn this two-day workshop\, we will explore how writers can benefit from different residency opportunities and how to put forward the strongest application possible. From sharing resources on where to find the best residency experience for your needs to drafting your artist statement\, we will discuss the benefits and pitfalls of both national and international residencies. During the workshop sessions\, we will also touch on available grant funding for residencies. Participants will leave with a shortlist of residencies (with deadlines)\, a draft of an application\, and a submission plan. \n\n\n\nIn the first session we will discuss: \n\n\n\n·      The purpose of residencies \n\n\n\n·      Different kinds of residency experiences and what to expect \n\n\n\n·      Where and how to find out about residencies \n\n\n\n·      Opportunities in Canada and internationally \n\n\n\n·      The basic components of an application \n\n\n\n·      Budgeting for a residency and funding \n\n\n\nBetween sessions\, you will choose a residency and draft your application. At the second meeting\, you will share your project description or artist statement. Through group discussion\, we will hone and help each other strengthen and clarify goals. \n\n\n\nMarcia Walker’s writing has appeared in Electric Literature’s Recommended Reads\, The Chicago Review\, The New Quarterly\, Fiddlehead\, The New York Times\, PRISM International\, Room\, EVENT\, The Globe and Mail\, CBC radio\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Vancouvered Out by Norman Nawrocki
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 20\, 2024\, 4:00 pm ET\n\n\n\nAcclaimed Montreal author Norman Nawrocki launches his exciting and timely new novella\, Vancouvered Out\, Saturday April 20\, 2024 at the Milton-Parc Community Library\, 3516 ave du Parc\, Montreal\, H2X 2H7. The 4pm launch is free.  \n\n\n\nVancouvered Out (Nawrocki’s 17th book) is a dramatic and timely story about roots\, gentrification\, housing rights\, community and the fight for a city. Although the story is set in Vancouver\, the issues it raises concern Montrealers also. We see the city through the eyes of Steve\, a poor and unemployed labourer. Demons and drug dealers drove him out of town ten years earlier in 2004. Now he’s back seeking a new life and answers to the mysterious death of his teen daughter. But in this west coast paradise he once called home\, he feels strangely out-of- place. As the love of family and friends stokes his own smouldering defiance of the new soul- destroying urban order\, he aches for justice and a livable city for all. \n\n\n\n\nVisit Facebook Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Book Trailer
