This year the U of T Summer Writing School features a special panel discussion designed to give participants helpful insight and advice about getting their work published.
The University of Toronto Summer Writing School is hosted by the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) every year at the Mississauga and St. George campuses.
The popular five-day intensive writing workshops give emerging writers the opportunity to connect with a writing community and learn from some of Canada’s most successful writers. Workshops include daily roundtable and panel discussions on an array of genres, as well as instructor and student readings.
This year the U of T Summer Writing School also features a special panel discussion and Q &A designed to give participants helpful insight and advice about getting their work published:
The Long and Winding Road to Publication panel aims to demystify the road to publication by sharing the experiences of recent SCS Creative Writing learners Tsering Yangzom Lama, Saeed Teebi, and Anuja Varghese, and editor Shirarose Wilensky. Learn how to find a publisher, what it’s like to work with an editor and more. The panel will be followed by a Q and A session.
Tsering Yangzom Lama’s novel We Measure the Earth With Our Bodies was published by M&S and shortlisted for the 2022 Giller Prize. It was also longlisted for the inaugural Carol Shields Prize.
Saeed Teebi’s story collection My First Palestinian was published by House of Anansi Press and shortlisted for the 2022 Atwood Gibson Writer’s Trust Fiction Prize.
Anuja Varghese’s story collection Chrysalis was launched this spring by House of Anansi Press.
Shirarose Wilensky is an editor at House of Anansi Press.
