Is there anything else about your writing career you’d like to share?
I’m a Calgary-based writer and lapsed academic with a professional artistic career spanning nearly twenty years (primarily in theatre). I served as resident dramaturge of Playwrights Theatre Centre (Vancouver), resident playwright of the Soulpepper Academy (Toronto), co-founder and Festival Director of the Calgary Fringe Festival, and Artistic Director of Ghost River Theatre (Calgary).
I’ve enjoyed many professional productions of my theatrical work (as playwright and collaborative-creator), including Inside the Seed, recipient of a Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Original Script, and published by Talonbooks. The City & the City – an adaptation of China Miéville’s celebrated cult novel – enjoyed a sold-out premiere run at the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival. (Re)Birth: EE Cummings in Song toured to New York City’s 42nd Street Theatre after multiple mainstage mountings.
My debut novel, Privilege, was released by Enfield & Wizenty in 2019.
