This practice can help you to inhabit your body in a way that feels simple, accessible, and safe. Your creativity feels fresher and more available when you’re stable and grounded. Be patient; it can take a lot of practice to learn these skills, and every day brings unique challenges. With repetition, and by gradually modifying this practice to suit your unique needs, you can learn how to create a strong and flexible container for your writing.
I read widely, always making my way through a nice fat stack of books of all genres. It’s an easy way to put myself on a self-directed writing workshop, with no end date. The goal: to learn all that I can from everything that I’m reading
Let books teach you how to write what you want to read.
I help writers centre their relationship with writing so they can do the creative work they long to do.
My collection, This Cake Is for the Party, was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book, and longlisted for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award.
My novel, Radiant Shimmering Light, was published in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the U.K., the U.S., and Poland. I’m thrilled to announce it has been optioned for television and will be a premium one-hour series.
