Writing

Kinsella, Joan MacLeod, Esi Edugyan, Richard Van Camp, Arleen Pare, Steve Erikson, John Barton, Aislinn Hunter, Mark Leiren Young, Billeh Nickerson, Shane Book, Gail Anderson Dargatz, and many, many others.
We’re also justifiably proud of our rising literary stars like Eden Robinson, Yasuko Thanh, Marjorie Celona, Melanie Siebert, D.W. Wilson, Carla Funk, Eliza Robertson, Arno Kopecky, Garth Martens and others.
But while many of our graduates are the names you see in bookstores, many more go onto successful careers in journalism, communications, teaching, playwrighting, magazine production, filmmaking and more.
