Louise Abbott is a non-fiction author, photo essayist, and documentary filmmaker with longstanding experience in rural and indigenous communities. She has given writing workshops for the Blue Metropolis Foundation and other education programs. She would like to explore one of five themes with CEGEP students: the memoir; the profile; the travel story; breathing life into history as a writer and screenwriter; and marrying text and images. In each case, she would include readings from one of her books, photo essays, or screenplays; a verbal presentation accompanied by stills or excerpts from films that she has directed; and a question-and-answer period.
