SUMMARY:Toot Your Own Horn: Compose Your Literary CV
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE\, THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED. PLEASE CONTACT SUR PLACE MEDIA FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.\n  \nA CV is a method of introduction. A literary CV shines a light on your literary activities. Whether applying for funding or submitting a manuscript for consideration\, it’s a simple way to highlight your accomplishments. \nDuring the workshop\, participants will create a literary CV. We will discuss the sections of a literary CV and ways to present—and highlight—our accomplishments. Participants will write an artistic statement\, organize their list of publications\, and fill in the framework of a CV. Participants should expect to spend a few hours outside of class time to compile and type their accomplishments into a Word document. \nRegistration deadline: January 7th\, 2021. \nBlossom Thom is a poet and editor. She is the author of #HashtagRelief (Gaspereau Press\, 2017) and her poetry has appeared during art collaborations and in literary magazines and anthologies including Poetic Notions: A Weaving of Poetry and Visual Arts\, Kola: A Black Literary Magazine\, and Montréal Serai. A mentorship with George Elliott Clarke set the groundwork for her work-in-progress and was supported by a Professional Development for Artists Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. \nPlease see event link for further details.
