Gen and Jette interview Sidura Ludwig, discussing her latest release - You are not what we expected, growing up in Winnipeg, and the importance of writing routines.
Show Notes:
Winnipeg might be a deep freeze but it breeds creativity through it's chilly isolation.
Sidura used to work at McNally Robinson - Canada's largest indie bookstore (and Jette used to go there while in university!)
Art is more accessible in Winnipeg because it's small - RWB, Symphony, Theatre as examples
The Winnipeg Fringe Festival is MASSIVE!!
There are so many great writing courses and communities out there!
Vermont College of Fine Arts has a wonderful MFA in Children and Young Adult writing
Sara Selecky writing school
Humber correspondence program
Writing routines are crucial (and we did a whole episode on it! Check out Episode 41)
Treat your writing time like a meeting - take is seriously and make it a commitment
You can You Were Not What We Expected anywhere but it would be great to support House of Anansi
