    Teaching Creative Writing at University of Toronto

    I'm so excited to share that I'll be teaching the Introduction to Creative Writing course at Creative Writing at the University of Toronto starting tomorrow. It's such a dream come true. University of Toronto has such a wonderful program, and I can't wait to talk about literary techniques and all the genres, and workshop students' work. I'm so happy.
