CBC Books and the Thunder Bay Public Library teamed up through the CBC's Library Fund, which aims to raise literary awareness and inspire the next generation of local writers in Canada. Over the course of the two-day workshop, 11 local writers were given the opportunity to flex their writing muscles, work on their own stories, and bounce ideas off one of Canada's most acclaimed modern writers.
"I've done a lot of different things in my life, writing is probably the hardest thing I've ever done: Peotto said. "Being in this collaborative atmosphere with different people talking about different ideas, and problems that they're going through, and [Michael] being so open and honest about what he's gone through has been really inspiring, so it's a fantastic opportunity.
