This 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.

Faculty members Dionne Brand, Kyo Maclear, Ivan E. Coyote, and professional guest Simon Thibault (Goose Lane) will mentor participants. This self-directed program 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.

Scholarships are available.
