Description

Join us for a casual, open-to-the-public workshop and open house for those curious about the MFA programs in Fiction and Creative Nonfiction at the University of King’s College. Sharon Bala leads a short writing workshop on dialogue for fiction and nonfiction, and all are welcome to participate. After the workshop, enjoy a reception hosted by the Writing and Publishing Program at Kings, and find out more. You’ll meet faculty, students, and alumni, see the books published by King’s students, get your questions answered, and learn about the process of applying.

  • Sharon Bala's second novel, Good Guys, was published in 2026. Publishers Weekly calls it “quietly profound” and a “blackly comic tale.” Her best-selling debut novel, The Boat People, won a Newfoundland & Labrador Book Award and the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. It was short listed for several awards and is in translation in four languages. Sharon is the Creative Non-Fiction editor at Riddle Fence Magazine and a member of The Port Authority, a St. John's writing group.
