Fiction writing can be a really powerful reframing tool — writer Katie
Zdybel joins us to talk about this idea and reframe our own writing
lives in the process. Plus: finding the right headspace for writing,
living in the Yukon, seeing beauty in the landscape (and sometimes
not!), and using fiction to build better relationships with the
sadnesses that are a part of life.
Katie Zdybel’s recently released first book, Equipoise,
was shortlisted for the HarperCollins/UBC Prize for Best New Fiction
and received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. Stories
within the collection won the Carter V. Cooper Short Fiction Award and
The New Quarterly’s Peter Hinchcliffe Short Fiction Award, as well as
having received publisher nominations for the Writers’ Trust Journey
Prize and two National Magazine Awards. Her writing has also appeared in
EXILE Quarterly, The New Quarterly, The Malahat Review, The Antogonish
Review, and more.
