Opening Doors through Stories: Discovery Chapbook Launch

 

The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and the Regina Open Door Society are pleased to launch our chapbook, Opening Doors through Stories: Discovery. This collection showcases the diverse identities and experiences of newcomers to Canada through creative writing and this launch allows us to hear the power of their stories through their own voices. Chapbook contributors are Abdul Salam Abo Alshamat, Mohammad Nure Alam, Bhoomika Dongel, Khaldoun Abou Alshamat, Maricar Benedicto, Shama Mahajan, and Shuchen Hu.

 

Hosted by our workshop facilitator and chapbook editor, Iryn Tushabe.
