Sarah Selecky is the author of the story collection This Cake is for the Party, which was a finalist for the Giller Prize, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize and long listed for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.
Her novel Radiant Shimmering Light has been published in multiple countries around the world and optioned for a television series.
Sarah earned her MFA from the University of British Columbia, and in 2011, she founded the Sarah Selecky Writing School, which has become a creative community for thousands of writers around the world.
An exceptional writer and teacher, Sarah is also a warm, generous, and big-hearted human. She follows her curiosity and sense of play in everything she does, and encourages the same in everyone she comes into orbit with.
I hope you enjoy this playful and enlightening conversation. Whether or not you consider yourself a writer, you’re sure to come away with some thought-provoking and helpful insights for art, well-being, and life.
