Topic: Writers and Risks
Use the #DiverseCanLit chat to follow along on Twitter (or TweetChat). This week we will talk about writers, the challenges they face, and the support they need. Below are a few of the questions we may discuss:
- Do you consider yourself a writer? Why or why not?
- What is/was your biggest obstacle to publication?
- Have you heard CanLit stereotypes similar to the “brooding in Muskoka” quote? Where does that perception come from?
- What do you consider “risky” for a Canadian writer?
- What support/resources do you need to meet your writing goals this year?
