Growing Room: A Feminist Literary Festival returns from March 1-4, 2018 at various venues in Vancouver, BC.
Betsy Warland will be at Growing Room on Saturday and Sunday, where she will be participating in and moderating panels, respectively.
This summer, Betsy offers “Making Your Writing Fly,” a self-editing workshop for prose and poetry, presented by Island Mountain Arts.
Effectively self-editing your work before you send it out to an editor, agent or publisher has become a must in today’s publishing environment.
Canadian Authors presents “Experimenting with the Potentials of Creative Non-Fiction,” a reading and talk by Betsy Warland, essayist, poet, and founder of The Writer’s Studio at Simon Fraser University.
West Coast Writers is pleased to announce our upcoming urban retreat: a day-long intensive with critically acclaimed poet and author, Betsy Warland.
Navigating contradictions, the unknown, or the forbidden in a group of poems or a lyric-prose narrative.
Growing Room is Room magazine’s annual literary festival, a celebration of diverse Canadian writers and artists, and Betsy Warland is honoured to be included in the stellar lineup!
Growing Room: A Feminist Literary Festival will return this year from March 1-4!
