A conversation with Caroline Adderson,
author of A Way to Be Happy, longlisted for the 2024 Giller Prize
A storytelling powerhouse, Caroline Adderson writes literary fiction, short stories, and children’s literature; teaches creative writing; and mentors newcomer women to share their stories via The Shoe Project. Join us for a discussion with Caroline about the relationship between writers and editors. How does editing differ between genres? How can editors help authors write better books? Do you need to be a good writer to be a good editor? Find out more about how Caroline blends the craft of writing and editing.
Caroline Adderson is the author of five novels (A History of Forgetting, Sitting Practice, The Sky Is Falling, Ellen in Pieces, and A Russian Sister), three collections of short stories (Bad Imaginings, Pleased to Meet You, and A Way to Be Happy), as well as many books for young readers. She is also the editor and co-contributor of a nonfiction book of essays and photographs, Vancouver Vanishes: Narratives of Demolition and Revival, and guest editor of Best Canadian Stories 2019. Her work has received numerous award nominations, including the Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, two Commonwealth Writers’ Prizes, the Governor General’s Literary Award, the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, and the Giller Prize longlist.
