Writer-in-Residence

Posted by on June 4, 2008 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

I have some happy news to report.

I’ve been chosen as the University of Calgary’s 2009-2010 Writer-in-Residence. My residency begins in August 2009 – which is perfect, as I should be done the bulk of my traveling for this ‘walls’ project by then – and will last for ten months. I will be responsible for helping new writers with their own work, but the bulk of my time will be spent writing. Writing, writing, writing. The university generously provides me with an office and a salary for this purpose.

It is a wonderful gift, and I am humbled by it.
