VANCOUVER FALL WORKSHOPS
INTRODUCING THE DADOIR….
Yes, it’s true. For the first time ever, and much to my surpise, we are hosting the first Dadoir workshop. I’ve been asked many times over the years if I would do something for dads, but I never thought it would work to have a woman, like me, teaching men how to write. So when Dan McKinney, a professor at the UBC Journalism School and internationally-acclaimed documentary filmmaker, offered to lead it, how could I resist?
So pass this on to all the Dads in your life who need to vent…on paper! Click here to sign up.
WRITING FOR DADS

West Side Family Place Lounge, 11th and MacDonald

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:
Spend an afternoon or evening writing down your stories, before you forget them! Led by award-winning writers, these special workshops will introduce you to the basics of writing about motherhood. If you’ve always wanted to write about your journey as a mom, here’s your chance to get started.
A hand-picked selection of the best essays on motherhood will be sent out in advance and discussed in the workshop over tea and snacks. Through a combination of writing and reading exercises, students will leave with their first story written, and the inspiration to keep writing.
cori is an award-winning journalist who has worked in newspapers, magazines, television and radio, filing stories from across the world. Her writing (much of it personal essays on motherhood) has appeared in publications including The Globe and Mail, Canadian Geographic, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Independent, Maclean’s, Chatelaine, Flare and Today’s Parent. She is the editor of the recently published anthology, Between Interruptions: Thirty Women Tell the Truth about Motherhood.
