... and so much more.
This program, designed for Indigenous writers at the mid-stage of their career (5 - 10 years' experience), will bring concentrated learning opportunities to a small group of writers for an in-depth, personal experience. Through networking, industry insight, training and mentorship, this program will help establish and elevate the career of Indigenous creators.
By engaging key partners and industry leaders, including experienced creators, writers, broadcasters, funders and more, we will bring the best education and career opportunities to the Indigenous stories that deserve to be seen and heard.
In consideration of everyone's health & safety, this program will be brought to you online via Zoom.
