Over 300 graduates of our distinguished school have gone on to publish books. We offer a range of writing and publishing programs including an intensive summer workshop, a fully online graduate certificate for those who want to work on the business side of the book industry, and a project-based writing mentorship program.
This is the Humber School for Writers Love & Defiance podcast. I’m David Bezmozgis, creative director of the Humber School for Writers. The Love & Defiance podcast features Humber students and graduates who’ve lived interesting or extraordinary lives and who have brought those experiences into their writing.
In this episode I speak with Robert Pelletier about his collection of stories which anatomize the strangeness, vulnerability, and isolation of contemporary life.
This season of Love and Defiance is written and produced by David Bezmozgis, and produced and edited by Reem Elmaghraby.
Our first episode of Season 5 comes from the Black Box Session at the Toronto International Festival of Authors with a student from the Humber School for Writers. Our guest is Mike Sholars who took the Humber Mentorship Program in the fall of 2020.
This season of Love and Defiance is written and produced by David Bezmozgis, and produced and edited by Reem Elmaghraby.
