Over 300 graduates of our distinguished school have gone on to publish books. We offer a range of writing and publishing programs including an intensive summer workshop, a fully online graduate certificate for those who want to work on the business side of the book industry, and a project-based writing mentorship program.
This is the Humber School for Writers Love & Defiance podcast. I’m David Bezmozgis, creative director of the Humber School for Writers. The Love & Defiance podcast features Humber students and graduates who’ve lived interesting or extraordinary lives and who have brought those experiences into their writing.
In this episode I speak with Shivani Howe about her novel-in-progress, Land’s Breath. Set at a yoga retreat in the interior of British Columbia, Land’s Breath is a story informed by what Shivani describes as chakra psychology and yoga ecology.
This season of Love and Defiance is written and produced by David Bezmozgis, and produced and edited by Evan Gravelle.
Our first episode of Season 4 comes from conversations at the Black Box Sessions at the Toronto International Festival of Authors with students from the Humber School for Writers. Our first guest is Kim Echlin. Kim's novels include Elephant Winter, and Dagmar's Daughter. Our second guest is Vicky Chen who has published a book of nonfiction and three plays. We finish off with Arzu Yildiz, a writer and journalist from Turkey.
This season of Love and Defiance is written and produced by David Bezmozgis, and produced and edited by Evan Gravelle.
