Events & Workshops

The SWG and Saskatoon Public Library bring author, Carol GoldenEagle, for this creative writing workshop. So often, emerging writers are led to believe that they must choose only one genre in which to express themselves…….Not so! Creativity is a series of tributaries which flow from a mighty river of expression.

FEARLESS is a workshop that encourages the courage to not limit your writing.

Please note: Registration will start on March 19th: https://saskatoonlibrary.ca/events-guide/event/17137

Carol Rose GoldenEagle is a Cree/Dene author, journalist, poet, visual artist, and storyteller from Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan. She is the award-winning author of Bearskin Diary, a novel exploring the Sixties Scoop, which won a national Indigenous literary prize in 2017 and was later translated into French, earning a Saskatchewan Book Award in 2019. Her other novels include Bone Black (2019) and Narrows of Fear (2020), the latter winning the 2021 Saskatchewan Book Award for Indigenous Writing. Carol is also the author of poetry collections Hiraeth (2018), Essential Ingredients (2021), and the short story collection Meandering Streams (2023). In 2025, she released two new books: the children’s title Mother Earth, My Favourite Artist and the novel JOE. A long-time advocate for Indigenous arts and community engagement, she was appointed Saskatchewan’s 9th Poet Laureate in 2021. That same year, she was shortlisted for a Saskatchewan Arts Award. Carol was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal in 2022 for her cultural contributions. Carol’s decades-long journalism career, including award-winning work at APTN, CBC, and CTV, helped shape her voice as a storyteller. She continues to mentor emerging Indigenous writers and promote inclusion in community celebrations through initiatives such as red dress and orange ribbon campaigns in Regina Beach. She now lives and writes in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan, with a goal to publish 20 titles by age 65. Carol considers raising her three children as a single mother her proudest achievement.
