Emily Schultz
Emily Schultz was born in 1974. Her first collection of short stories, Black Coffee Night, was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Award for Best First Fiction in Canada, and for the ReLit Award. A story from that collection was adapted for television, airing across Canada and the United States. At the time, the Globe and Mail included her in a “Tomorrow's Ondaatjes and Munros” round-up, calling her one of the country’s most prominent writers under 30. Schultz followed up with a novel, Joyland, and a collection of poetry, Songs for the Dancing Chicken, which was named a finalist for the 2008 Trillium Prize. Her newest novel, Heaven Is Small, will release from House of Anansi Press in 2009.
Her writings have appeared in the Globe and Mail, Eye Weekly, the Walrus, Geist, Descant, and several anthologies. She has held the position of editor at two national magazines, run an experimental art space from her home (with artist/writer Brian Joseph Davis), and currently teaches story writing at George Brown College in Toronto.
