1st Annual Mustard Alternative Writing Workshops October 3, 2008, SAIT Campus
The Mustard Alternative Writing Workshop is a oneday annual event, presented by Dandelion Magazine Society. It features writing instruction by established and published authors in fringe writing endeavours ranging from radical and visual poetry, to graphic fiction, to publishing chapbooks and scriptwriting. Our goal is to provide training and experience in non-traditional forms of literary endeavour, and to generally foster a spirit of innovation, creativity and inspiration within the literary arts.
The Mustard Alternative Writing Workshop is aimed at young writers and visual artists between the ages of 16 and 24. Located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mustard’s focus is on encouraging the development of local and regional talent, but with an inclusive approach, drawing upon instructors of local, national and international renown.
In 2008, featured workshop leaders included derek beaulieu, Suzette Mayr, ryan fitzpatrick, Gary Burns, and Riley Rossmo. The event also included a plenary speech by Christian Bök.
