Fall WordWorks Launch: Celebrating Our TD Emerging Writers

Join us as we celebrate the launch of “Our Voices, Our Stories” a special issue of WordWorks magazine.

Rachel Dunstan Muller, the managing editor of WordWorks, will host this launch event, with brief readings from TD Emerging Writers Kaye Anderson-Gosselin, Francis Chang, Wai-Kin Arthur Chau, Storri Chesson, Antoinette Cheung, Harkit Dhillon, Jenny Garcha, Goldbard, Sonia Kaur, Demian Pettman, Elsie Reford, Nicholas Tremblay, and Ferin Willms.

Thanks to a generous donation from TD Connected Communities, the FBCW launched the TD Emerging Writers Mentorship Program earlier this year. Nineteen emerging writers with little or no previous publication history were paired with mentors from their own equity-seeking communities.

Over the summer, the emerging writers received encouragement and guidance as they pitched articles for WordWorks, wrote first drafts, and edited their final pieces. “Our Voices, Our Stories” showcases the final submissions of thirteen of these emerging writers. (The remaining writers will see their work published online or in a subsequent issue.)

Please join us as we celebrate the work of these courageous and thought-provoking contributors.
