The Laurence Prize and Lineage

The Laurence Prize and Lineage

by Lauren Carter | May 20, 2020 | Manitoba, News, Novel, Ontario, Prizes, Publications, Readings, Writers, Writing Life

As a young woman living in Peterborough, Ontario, I never would have thought that one day I’d move to Margaret Laurence’s home province of Manitoba. If a fortune teller had also muttered in my ear that I’d win a prize named after her for my second novel, I might have...

Ontario Bound!

by Lauren Carter | Oct 31, 2019 | Events, Novel, Ontario, Poetry, Process, Readings, Writers, Writing Life
