Stories as Maps: Reading Where We've Been and Writing a Way Forward

The Creative Writers Forum invites you to an author talk by novelist Cherie Dimaline. In “Stories as Maps: Reading Where We’ve Been and Writing a Way Forward,” she will discuss the process of using writing to push through the anxiety of hard times. She has written, among others, The Marrow Thieves, a fast-paced, award-winning speculative climate fiction YA novel featuring Native characters, named by TIME Magazine as one of the Best YA Books of All Time. She will use her writing experience to show how, in an era roiled by the climate crisis, book bans, and global turmoil, story can be used as both compass and strategy. Dimaline lives in her Georgian Bay Métis Community and, along with novels, has written and produced for MARVEL, FX, HBO, Disney, and is currently adapting two major projects for AMC.
