Jennifer Miller meets Brian Brett this week, as he wraps up his first week in residence in Whistler.
Big, burly and decked out in suspenders and a cowboy hat, you’d expect to see Brian Brett working on a farm long before you’d picture him in a classroom teaching writing.
Well, to be fair, even though Brett teaches a distance education master’s course at UBC and he’s currently shepherding a group of 10 local writers as part of Whistler’s Writer in Residence program, you won’t often find him in a traditional classroom setting.
[But here in Whistler as part of the Whistler Readers and Writers Festival] he’s teaching a memoir-writing workshop on Oct. 16 and will also be one of 10 authors to read and participate in discussion at the festival’s marquee event.
Brett is also scheduled to do a reading at the Pemberton library on Oct. 7.
