Strawhouse Resorts Hosts “Writing With Curiosity & Courage” in September 2019

Picton, ON (August 20, 2019) — Join Sarah Selecky for three blissful days of writing, reading, and connecting at Strawhouse Resorts in Junction City, California.

Sarah is the acclaimed author of This Cake Is for the Party, which was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize for Best First Book, and longlisted for the Frank O’Connor Short Story Award, as well as the new novel Radiant Shimmering Light, which has been optioned for a TV show by Muse Entertainment.

She is also the creator of internationally-acclaimed creative writing school (and MFA alternative) Sarah Selecky Writing School, which includes collaborations with Margaret Atwood, George Saunders, Karen Joy Fowler, and other authors.
