Recommender's Grant

I’m so very thrilled to announce that I was awarded a Recommender’s Grant from the Ontario Arts Council in support of the collection of stories I’m currently working on. Apart from the financial support these grants provide, it’s always so very encouraging to receive one. Writing is a very solitary task, and it’s easy to sometimes fall victim to the notion that what we do has no value. So after the many rejections that go hand in hand with the business of writing, it’s awfully reassuring to know that someone—or several someones—believes in your project. Thanks OAC and The New Quarterly who made the recommendation.
