UFV Writer-in-Residence, Spring, 2011

I'm pleased to announce that I'm going home...to the Fraser Valley! I am the Writer in Residence for the University of the Fraser Valley January -April 2011. While at UFV, I'll be working with one-on-one with emerging writers, hosting and reading in author events, and visiting classrooms—as well as working on some new writing. My office hours are all day Thursdays and by appointment on Fridays. Please contact me at Elizabeth.Bachinsky@ufv.ca for more information. Hope to see you out in the Valley.
