About

The City of Richmond is pleased to welcome Lindsay Wong as the 2020 Writer-in-Residence at the Minoru Centre for Active Living, Richmond Arts Centre and Richmond Public Library.

Lindsay Wong is a Vancouver-based author. She holds a BFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia and an MFA in literary nonfiction from Columbia University. Her debut memoir The Woo-Woo is a darkly comic story of her dysfunctional family who blame their woes on ghosts and demons. The Woo-Woo was a finalist for the 2018 Hilary West Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction. CBC Books named her a writer to watch in 2019. As the 2018-2019 writer-in-residence for the Vancouver Community Cultural Council and the John Howard Society, Lindsay hosted weekly lectures, seminars and on-line writing workshops.

Over the course of two months, Lindsay will provide advice to emerging writers through free public workshops, events and conversations.

Aspiring and emerging writers: join writer-in-residence Lindsay Wong for a brief reading and Q&A. Come meet the residency’s team and hear short creative work read out loud. Introduce yourself and share a poem, short story, or essay. Registration is required for this event, which will be held over Zoom.
