What a blast learning alongside the talented students who attended The (Indigenous) Writer's Toolkit: How to Launch Your Craft workshop I facilitated in collaboration with Hugo House. Watch out world, because these are the up-and-coming indigenous legends in literature!
I covered an array of topics and resources, and I thought it would be helpful to share these resources with you creative hot messes 🤗. Enjoy!
