Attention writers: Southbank 2013 is almost here
Ready to take your writing to the next level? Live on the south side of the river and hate commuting to Vancouver? Spend your summer writing close to home. Southbank Writers' Program in Surrey is taking applications till April 30.
Southbank is an intensive part-time summer program offered by Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies in the university's own suite of rooms on the top floor of the Surrey City Centre Library near Surrey Central Skytrain station.
Enjoy dedicated Studio Saturdays writing with like-minded writers, and work with a small group and a writing mentor.
Learn from respected local writers: Wayde Compton, Rachel Rose, Lois Peterson, Michael Slade, Hal Wake, Caroline Adderson, Jami Macarty and more.
Network with other writers, build your writing practice and learn how to read your work in a safe and encouraging environment. Find out about writers' ethics, or move your blogging skill up a notch or two. Listen to a panel on the current state of publishing. Learn how to edit your own fiction, or how to write a thriller or a kids' book.
Southbank runs from May 26 to August 17, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. See course descriptions here and this year's schedule here.
