There's just over a week to go for writers who want to apply to attend the School of Writing with Rudy Wiebe at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) in Winnipeg.

The School, which runs from May 14-18, features two tracks: Fiction, taught by Wiebe, an award-winning author of 15 books of fiction, six books of non-fiction and numerous essays and anthologies; and poetry, taught by Manitoba poet Sarah Klassen, who has published a collection of short stories and six books of poetry.

The School will feature writing workshops, one-on-one meetings with Wiebe and Klassen, opportunities to meet published local authors and time for writing and reflection.

The School is endorsed by the Manitoba Writers’ Guild. The cost is $495 for the week.
