Sports Writing 2026

This two-week self-directed residency offers time and space for writers to focus, reconnect, and re-energize their writing practice. In addition to a single room and a small private studio, participants will be able to engage with other writers on the program. As a flexible self-guided program with optional elements, the Sports Writing residency allows participants to choose the amount of support they are looking for.

Optional program elements include:

talks from faculty members Dave Bidini, Morgan Campbell, Mirin Fader, and professional guest Jamie Ross (The Globe & Mail)
Q & A sessions
public readings
one-on-one mentoring with faculty to discuss ideas, experiences, and writing obstacles.

Sports Writing is designed for writers seeking a professional development opportunity in a community of peers with the guidance of an experienced writer/editor, as each participant prepares a long form piece.

Scholarships available.
