Vancouver Manuscript Intensive founder, director and mentor Betsy Warland was honored earlier this month with a Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award for her contributions to literature. The ceremony, held at the Roundhouse Community Centre, was hosted by Bill Richardson.
Dear Writers,
What’s your New Year’s resolution for 2017?
I know, I know–you haven’t even bought your Halloween candy yet, so why am I pestering you about a holiday that’s more than four months away?
Dear Writers,
We have some great news: Evelyn Lau, acclaimed author of twelve books, has joined Vancouver Manuscript Intensive as our new poetry and creative non-fiction mentor. We’re very excited to offer you the opportunity to work with this award-winning author.
Dear Readers and Writers,
Are your working on a memoir? Does your intuition tell you that your life experiences have narrative–and perhaps even poetic–potential?
If you have three Saturdays to spare this fall, consider signing up for Betsy’s upcoming course, Memoir of Inquiry, at SFU Harbour Centre, Continuing Studies.
Thanks to everyone who came out to VMI’s 2016 alumni reading last Sunday afternoon at Britannia Library in East Vancouver.
This diverse group of poets, fiction and non-fiction writers regaled the audience with writing about a cariboo queen, a traveller on the Camino de Santiago, a reluctant American, environmentalism, and much more.
The Vancouver Manuscript Intensive deadline is fast approaching. We’re accepting applications of your best creative non-fiction, poetry, fiction, and mixed-genre writing up until November 17th.
Work with one of our excellent mentors: Claudia Casper, Shaena Lambert, Rachel Rose, Cathleen With, Karen X.
Writers of all genres are welcomed to apply to the Vancouver Manuscript Intensive 2016.
Whether you have begun a manuscript, have a body of work that needs shaping into a manuscript, or have graduated from a writing program but haven’t resolved your manuscript, the Vancouver Manuscript Intensive is a comprehensive, tailored course developed specifically for your particular writing needs.
