Wayne is thrilled to be a part of this year’s special tenth anniversary LiterASIAN Festival in Vancouver, B.C., May 7-15, 2022: “Finding Our Voices: Telling Our Stories”
In finding our voices again, the festival counters the anti-Asian racism that has sought to silence the contributions and dignity of Asian Canadians.
LiterASIAN highlights and celebrates the accomplishments of writers and artists of Asian heritage.

Writing From the Gut: Tapping into one’s core, the depths of epistolary and self-awareness writing
Sun, 8 May 2022, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PDT
Location: Chinatown Storytelling Centre
So much of today’s social media is highly intimate and self-revelatory, almost confessional. How can we use that to create deeply personal stories? This hands-on workshop will explore how our self-awareness and writing from the gut, such as epistolary, can create deeply emotional experiences for both readers and writers.
