This fall, Writer in Residence Loghan Paylor offers accessible one-on-one consultations to local writers in person and online with the Central Library. Loghan's focus is fiction, with additional expertise in historical fiction and literary magazine publishing. They are particularly interested in supporting emerging writers. To request an appointment, email programs@vpl.ca with the subject line "Writing Consultation with Loghan Paylor" and the following information: 1. A brief introduction (approx. 2-5 sentences) including your writing experience, what you hope to gain from the consultation and any specific questions or aspects of your work you would like to discuss. 2.
