Introducing, the Carolyn Smart Writer's Residency!
For decades, Professor Smart dedicated her efforts to help the next generation of Canadian writers. Her former students have won nearly every literary award in Canada. She has created publishing opportunities, founded literary awards, and ran a Writer's Residency at Queen's since 2006.
