British Columbia

Writing workshops british columbia brings together instruction rooted in the province itself, from the Lower Mainland outward to the Interior and the north coast. Expect leaders who read manuscripts set in coastal rain, on ferries and in resource towns, and who treat the border with Washington as a fact of the writing life rather than a footnote.

Monika Davies and Taslim Jaffer work from British Columbia, and the province shapes what they offer: a writing life pitched between the Pacific coast and the mountain interior, where the nearest large workshop circuit sits south of the border. That distance from California, Washington and the other American tags is the point. Writers here tend to arrive with manuscripts set in rain forest, on ferries, in mill towns, and they want readers who know that ground. Vancouver, 50 searches a month, is where most of that traffic starts.
