Dear CEGEP professors: I've been selected to be part of the Writers in CEGEPs program, which sends established English-language Quebec writers into CEGEP classrooms to promote language-arts skills and an appreciation of literature. Financed by the Ministry of Culture and Communications, the program targets both public and private CEGEPs, and is designed primarily for students enrolled in English literature courses. Find out more about the program here. 

I have a range of activities I'd be happy to offer and adjust to students’ and teachers’ needs:

• a presentation on storytelling for non-writers, establishing it as an important tool of persuasion in any field, and drawing insights and practical tips from George Orwell and Yuval Noah Harari, among others
• a workshop adapting common writing exercises to focus on students’ lived experiences within a safe and age-appropriate space
• a reading from her published works and facilitation of an open discussion with students about craft, the writing process, etc.

I'm bilingual, and live in the Outaouais region of Western Quebec.  Je serais à l’aise pour animer un atelier en anglais dans un cégep français ou anglais.
