Workshop

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Time:

2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Description:

To accompany his reading at Dear Friends &, writer-in-residence Jordan Abel led a generative, multi-genre writing workshop for twelve participants. 

On the workshop Abel says:

In this creative writing workshop we will be focusing on overcoming obstacles in our writing practices through a problem-based approach. In this session, we will tackle central issues in your writing—questions that may arise include engagements with ethics, narrative, positionality, and representation—and we will explore how to find your way through these issues in a way that makes for engaging, dynamic writing.

Presented in partnership with The Capilano Review as part of their annual writers-in-residence program with support from the BC Arts Council.
