Writer in Residence

Vancouver Public Library's Writer in Residence program promotes Canadian writing and literature to Vancouver citizens.

During a four-month residency, the Writer spends 75% of his or her time working on their own project and 25% of his or her time mentoring emerging writers, conducting workshops and participating in other activities to share their experience with the community.

The 2012 Writer in Residence program has now concluded and VPL is evaluating applications for the 2013 residency. The Library's ninth Writer in Residence will be announced later this year.
