[Wamvan] Cdn Women in Literary Arts seeks Critic-in-Residence

[Sandra Cuffe]

link: http://cwila.com/wordpress/critic-in-residence/

CWILA seeks to support a female Canadian writer (poet, novelist,
storyteller, scholar) as its resident critic for a calendar year. The aim
of the residency is to foster vital criticism that promotes public
awareness of women’s literary and critical presence in Canadian letters.
Specifically, the critic-in-residence will work on critical essays and/or
book reviews and submit them to one or more Canadian review venues (print
or web). This work will also be archived by CWILA and will become available
through its website following publication elsewhere, copyright permitting.
If time allows, the critic-in-residence is encouraged to support a climate
of critical responsiveness in Canadian letters through a collaborative or
community-based project of her choice. The residency is virtual, so the
writer will be free to work from home. The deadline for submission of the
essay or reviews to CWILA will be December 31st of the year of the
residency. At this time, the writer should also provide documentation that
the pieces have been submitted to other publications.

*Criteria*: Applications should include a letter of intent describing the
project or projects the applicant wishes to undertake, the venue or venues
to which they plan to submit, a one-page CV, and a short sample of critical
work.

We encourage applications from genderqueer writers, Indigenous writers, as
well as other women and/or genderqueer writers of colour.

*Stipend*: $2,000 $3,000

*Applications:* Applications can be sent to info at cwila.com and must be
received by November 1, 2012
