Calling all writers: The Winnipeg Public Library is looking for its next Writer-in-Residence

The Winnipeg Public Library is looking for its next Writer-in-Residence.

Every year since 1985, the Winnipeg Public Library has picked the perfect candidate to provide one-on-one mentorship and public workshops for up-and-coming writers of all genres in our city.

The chosen candidate will do this through meetings online, in person, by email or by phone. The writer in residence will also offer group workshops and a writing circle. 

During their time in the role, they will also have the opportunity to work on their own writing. 

The residency will run from Oct. 1, 2025, until April 30, 2026. 

Anyone interested in applying has until Wednesday, June 4, 2025, to do so.
