By default\, all workshop registrations are for in-person spots. If you would like to attend the workshop via Zoom\, first email Riley (riley@qwf.org) to see if online spots are still available for this workshop\, and then wait for confirmation. Virtual spots are limited and are reserved for people who either live outside Montreal or have a medical condition. \n\n\n\nRaquel Rivera’s books for children and young adults have won the QWF Prize for Children’s and YA Literature twice; been nominated for the Red Cedar Book Award\, Silver Birch\, Forest of Reading awards and the Rocky Mountain Book Award; and were selected for CCBC Best Books for Kids & Teens (starred selection)\, USBBY Outstanding International Books)\, and Quill & Quire’s “Best of 2007.” Raquel has lived and worked in Washington DC\, Kuala Lumpur\, Singapore\, Barcelona\, and Toronto (where she was born and raised as a first-generation Canadian). Raquel’s own mixed heritage inspires her search for new ways of thinking and dreaming. Cultures in cooperation is the theme that runs through her writing. \n\n\n\n\nhttp://raquelriverawashere.com\n\n\n\nhttp://artistsinspire.ca\n\n\n\nhttp://hireawriter.ca\n\n\n\nhttp://facebook.com
