Gala to celebrate creative writing talents

A live online event will celebrate the work of UWindsor creative writing students tonight — Friday, April 9.

The gala will feature readings by participating students as well as a special guest appearance by 2021 writer-in-residence Cecily Nicholson.

“Everyone has done an absolutely marvellous job putting this together,” says creative writing professor Nicole Markotic. “Come out and celebrate the talents of all our wonderful students. They’ve really done well this entire, strange year!”

The action is via video on YouTube; attendees will also be able to share their thoughts in real time via chat starting at 7 p.m. Check it out at youtu.be/K-y6lxy1-Tc.
