Turns out having writers shun your writing prize is bad!
Kudos to the Gillers for (being pushed and petitioned and protested and publicly shamed into) doing the right thing.
And so much love to every #CanLit writer who had a hand (or a voice or a pen) in this fight. ✍🏾🍉❤️

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Can CanLit move forward from the Giller Prize controversy?
Such a good conversation b/w Noor Naga and @elamin.bsky.social about why so many Canadian authors are boycotting the Gillers.. and why our actions make a difference.
Interview starts at 10:40 - give it a listen!

I hope the United Healthcare hitman goes back for the receptionist’s number. “I know I’m the subject of an international manhunt right now but.. I just had to see you again.”
Someone’s writing this script already, right? It’s already in production at the W network.
