Introducing Trevor Cole
2008 Writer-in-Residence

Manuscript Appraisals As part of his residency, Trevor will be meeting individually with aspiring authors one-on-one to discuss their submitted works.

Please note that we are no longer accepting manuscript submissions at this time.

About Trevor Cole
Trevor Cole was recently called "one of the best young novelists in Canada" by The Globe and Mail. He has worked everywhere from a factory floor to the boardroom of a national newspaper. Since 1982 he's made his living from words, first as a radio copywriter, typing out 30-second spots for bun shops, furriers and Nissan dealerships; then as a magazine editor; then as an award-winning journalist. Aside from an eight-month detour as the Globe and Mail's travel editor, he spent 15 years in the newspaper's magazine division, culminating in a successful three-year stint as a senior writer at Report on Business Magazine. Upon leaving the Globe in 2001 he wrote a satirical column for Canadian Business, which for two years existed as a notorious irritant to many of Canada's most prominent business leaders.

While still a journalist writing feature stories for Toronto Life, Report on Business Magazine and other publications and receiving numerous awards for his articles, Cole has for the last several years devoted a great part of his energies to fiction. His first novel, Norman Bray in the Performance of His Life, published in 2004, garnered enormous acclaim, appeared on the Maclean's bestseller list, was adapted for radio and audio book, and was nominated for a Governor General's Literary award and several others. His second novel, The Fearsome Particles, published in September 2006, won for Cole his second Governor General's award nomination.
Trevor Cole’s residency at KPL will run from April 28 to June 23.  During his residency, Trevor will be hosting a series of free Writer's Craft Workshops plus he will be accepting manuscripts from aspiring authors for appraisal.  Manuscript submissions will be accepted beginning Saturday, March 15th
The Edna Staebler Writer-in-Residence program is a wonderful opportunity for aspiring writers to learn more about the craft of writing plus receive constructive criticism of their work from an established author.
For more information about Trevor Cole, please visit his website at: www.trevorcole.com

About the Edna Staebler Writer-in-Residence Program
The Edna Staebler Writer-in-Residence program was established in 1996. The Program was endowed with a generous donation of one hundred thousand dollars from the late Edna Staebler, locally acclaimed author and life-long library advocate.  Ms Staebler’s desire has been to provide writers with the information and encouragement necessary to “keep at it” and succeed in a challenging profession.
In the past, KPL has been honoured to have a long list of exceptional Canadian authors serve as our Writer-in-Residence, including: Janet Lund  (1996), Veronica Ross (1997), Jack Batten (1998), Betty Jane Wylie (1999), Welwyn Wilton Katz (2000), John B. Lee (2001), Kathy Stinson (2002), Andrew Pyper (2003), Lyn Hamilton (2004), Wayson Choy (2005), Robert J. Sawyer (2006), and Elizabeth Ruth (2007).
