Playwright Anna Chatterton Next Writer in Residence
From September 16, 2024, to April 2025, Anna will mentor aspiring writers in person and virtually at McMaster University and Central Library. The residency also gives Anna time to develop works in progress.
“It’s such an honour to have this position that allows me to work with emerging writers and have dedicated writing time,” said Anna. “I find inspiration working with other writers and being out in the community.”
The Writer in Residence program is supported by Hamilton Public Library, McMaster University Humanities and McMaster Library. Anna is a two-time finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama. Her published writing includes the plays Within the Glass, Quiver, Cowgirl Up, Gertrude and Alice, and the upcoming Children of Fire (non-fiction).
Anna is the winner of a City of Hamilton Arts Award, a Toronto Theatre Critics Award, an LA Independent Women Film Award for Best Narrative Feature and a Dora Mavor Moore award. She was nominated for a Juno Award, a Hamilton Literary Award for Fiction, and five Dora Mavor Moore Awards. Anna has been in residence at seven theatres.
“McMaster University Library is proud to be a partner in this program that invests in Canadian authors, supporting not only the development of their works but also the mentorship of local writers,” said Vivian Lewis, Associate Vice-President and University Librarian at McMaster.
“Hamilton Public Library is proud to foster local writing talent through the Writer-in-Residence program, and Anna Chatterton’s immense talent and versatility will surely offer a fresh perspective for many aspiring writers,” said Erica Conly, HPL Manager of Program Development.
Writers of all levels and disciplines can reserve a consultation at Anna’s booking webpage. You can also meet Anna at a Welcome Reception on Sep 12, 6:30 pm at Central Library. Anna will host workshops and events at HPL from September 2024 through April 2025. Learn more at hpl.ca/writer-in-residence.
