Department of English Writer in Residence
The Writer in Residence program provides an opportunity for the college community to engage with an established writer. The program allows the Writer in Residence to pursue their own creative projects while being available to Langara students for classroom visits, one-on-one writing consultations, and events—including a public reading for the community. The position runs for three months at the start of the spring term (January to March). The Writer in Residence is hosted by the English department.
2026 Writer in Residence
One-on-one Consultations
The writer in residence will be available for creative writing mentorship with members of the Langara community (students, faculty, and employees) from mid-January to mid-March. Students can submit fiction or creative nonfiction to the writer in residence and receive free feedback during a one-hour, in-person meeting.
To secure an appointment, students must go to the writer in residence's office (TBA) and add their details to the sign-up sheet posted on the office door. After a student signs up, they should send their work to writerinresidence [at] rstdev3.zyns.com (writerinresidence[at]langara[dot]ca), using the following format: Word or PDF format only, 12-point font, double spaced, up to 10 pages. Work must be submitted at least one week in advance, so the writer has a chance to read it and provide thoughtful comments.
Appointments are available on a first come, first served basis.
