His first novel, The Convictions of Leonard McKinley, was longlisted for the 2008 Re:Lit Award for fiction. His first play, The Big Oops, toured the country last summer. His music group The Fugitives was nominated for a 2007 Canadian Folk Music Award. He teaches spoken word at Langara College.

*Wondering where your $5 goes? The cover charges go towards venue rentals, a prize for the winner ($60), remuneration and travel expenses for our guest features, and if extra funds allow, prizes for the other finalists. The cash also covers our free workshops and incidental costs like photocopies, posters, etc.
