The stories submitted have all been exceptional, and there’s a lot of talent, creativity and passion at UFV. It’d be wonderful to meet in-person, but the Zoom meetings have been inspiring. I have been very impressed with the work submitted by students so far. I have to say, I am really enjoying the writing consultations. What are you currently enjoying and looking forward to about your time as Writer-in-Residence at UFV? Lindsay Wong answered some questions for the UFV community to mark the start of her residency. My Summer of Love and Misfortune is her first YA novel. She has a BFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia and MFA in literary nonfiction from Columbia University, and she is now based in Vancouver, Canada. Lindsay Wong, UFV’s Writer-in-Residence for 2021, is the author of the bestselling, award-winning memoir The Woo-Woo: How I Survived Ice Hockey, Drug-Raids, Demons, and My Crazy Chinese Family. Keep an eye on UFV social media and the UFV events calendar for details. While her residency is by necessity a virtual one given the restrictions caused by the pandemic, there will be a number of opportunities for students and the public to interact with her. Lindsay Wong is UFV’s Writer-in-Residence for the Winter 2021 semester.
