Event Description
Join us for an engaging evening of nonfiction storytelling at this Literary Cabaret, a sharing of works in the Literary Journalism residency at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Across three nights, explore boundary-pushing readings from participants and faculty mentors.
The three-week residency brings together writers working on long-form journalism, narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, and reported essays. Participants focus on deeply researched, real-world storytelling—where reporting meets literary craft.
This chapter is hosted by Manjula Martin, a widely respected literary journalist and editor whose work bridges environmental writing, cultural criticism, and personal narrative. She is the author of the national bestseller The Last Fire Season: A Personal and Pyronatural History, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Enjoy a drink from the bar and immerse yourself in a vibrant literary atmosphere. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with readings starting at 7 p.m. Afterward, mingle with the writers and faculty until 9:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this chance to hear about articles and books that will soon be discussed across the country.
Literary Journalism is generously supported by the Flanagan Foundation, Fondation David R. Graham, and the Rogers Communications Chair in Literary Journalism Endowment.
