The Carol Shields Prize Foundation Residency at Historic Joy Kogawa House provides a woman or non-binary writer from the United States or Canada with a month-long residency at the House in order to further a literary project. The residency includes the use of Historic Joy Kogawa House (a fully furnished home) and covers the cost of the writer’s travel to and from their home city to Vancouver. During the residency, the writer will offer one workshop or literary event for local writers; they will also participate in a weekly writing group.
The Historic Joy Kogawa House has selected the first recipient of this residency, Lisa Bird-Wilson!
