Now in its fourth year, the Author Development Program is a mentorship program in which emerging writers (Story Makers) work with mentors (Story Coaches) to bring their manuscript to the next level. The program is 6 months in duration October to April (no commitments in December).

APPLY TO BE A STORY COACH!

The program concludes with a reading in early to mid May.

The AWCS is currently seeking applications from established Alberta writers to be Story Coaches for the 2021/22 Author Development Program.

The 2021/22 program may be a combination of online and in person, depending on the state of the global pandemic. We are certainly hoping for more in person opportunities for the coming year.

General Guidelines
·  You MUST be a published author.
·  You MUST have demonstrated teaching or manuscript review/mentoring experience.
·  You MUST live in Alberta.
·  You MUST be available for the required commitment of 10-15 hours per month.

1.    A cover letter introducing yourself, your approach to coaching, why you should be selected for this program, the genres you’re most comfortable working with, and how many Story Makers you are willing to work with.
2.    Please also include a short bio (75 words) and photo.
3.    A writing CV outlining your publication credits, teaching experience, residencies you’ve been selected for and any other relevant experience.
