Join the Writers’ Trust of Canada in celebrating the rising stars of Canadian literature. The country’s next generation of literary talent took the stage at the unveiling of a multi-faceted career development program that advances their careers and highlights their work with an endorsement from a proven, influential author. Five notable Canadian writers have each chosen one writer who is poised to produce exceptional and enduring creative work.
Hear from program participants David Chariandy, Charlotte Gray, and Taras Grescoe, and meet the up-and-coming talents of Canadian literature: Melissa J. Gismondi, El Jones, Chelene Knight, Dana Mills, and Deborah Ostrovsky.
The event was recorded on June 5, 2019, at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
