Wayde Compton, an award-winning Vancouver author and creative writing instructor, has taken over as director of The Writer’s Studio, a creative writing program at Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies.
Compton, the co-founder of Western Canada’s first and only black literary press, took up his new post in January 2012.
In a review of Compton’s most recent book, David Chariandy, a colleague, said that Compton is “among the most brilliant and accomplished black Canadian writers of his generation.”
Those words struck a chord with the search team at SFU Continuing Studies—they knew they should take notice of the soft-spoken writer, teacher, and musician.
Find out more about SFU Continuing Studies' creative writing programs.

The County of Brant Public Library would like to formally thank everyone who made the wonderfully successful Young Authors Project possible!
Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Young Authors Project was a special project sponsored by Kids Can Fly, The Brantford Expositor, and the County of Brant Public Library.
Writer-in-residence-for-youth Lauren Kirshner lead the project, which gave 22 lucky local youth the chance to hone their writing craft under the mentorship of a published author.
The final product, 22 Pairs of Shoes, was launched at a special reception at the Brant Sports Complex where the participants received congratulations and a copy of the final published magazine.
