Eligibility:

This two-week residency encourages the exploration of new ideas in the writing of Memoir. Designed to challenge and stimulate, the program aims to inspire creative pieces of non-fiction and to assist the writers in their completion.
A preeminent space for long-form Creative Non-Fiction and journalism, this residency emphasizes the strengths of thorough and articulate reporting, distinctive storytelling, and literary devices.
This 12-day self-directed residency provides teaching from faculty members Dionne Brand, Kyo Maclear, Ivan E. Coyote, and professional guest Simon Thibault (Goose Lane). This residency is a self-directed program that offers time and space for writers to focus and re-energize their writing practice while connecting with an artistic literary community. In addition to a single room and a small private studio, you will be surrounded by a community of artistic peers. You will have the opportunity to attend inspiring talks and performances and meet with guest faculty to consult on your work.
Optional elements include:
- one-on-one mentoring sessions with faculty to discuss ideas, experiences and obstacles that participants may be encountering with their writing.
- Q&A sessions
- Public events
As a flexible self-guided program, Memoir Writing allows you to choose the amount of support you are looking for. All program elements are optional.
