Meet Chyana Marie Sage, TNQ’s Spirit Ink Writer-In-Residence!

“I am beyond excited for this opportunity. It feels like such a full circle moment—I had my literary debut with TNQ, and now to be able to take on the role of mentor fills me with such gratitude. I’ll be helping TNQ expand their Indigenous voices by mentoring emerging Native writers throughout the year and I’m honoured to be able to share all I have learned throughout the years with my mentees and with TNQ!”

She will be sourcing and mentoring Indigenous writers while also working on new pieces for TNQ. Stay tuned for her first published piece as Writer-In-Residence in our Winter issue!
