John Vigna’s (he, him, his) novel, No Man’s Land, was published in Fall 2021. His first book of fiction, Bull Head, was received with critical acclaim in Canada and the US in 2012 and published in France by Éditions Albin Michel in 2017. It was selected by Quill & Quire as an editor’s pick of the year and was a finalist for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award. John was named one of 10 writers to watch by CBC Books.

In collaboration with UBC colleague Bronwen Tate, John is co-writing a creative writing pedagogy book under contract with Bloomsbury Academic. The book features micro-interviews with over forty innovative and influence writers and teachers and has been supported by a UBC Dean of Arts Educational Leadership and Innovation Award.
