“Heather Burt fits naturally and beautifully into that group of writers who have given Canadian literature its reputation for creating compelling psychological landscapes peopled by wonderfully wise and complex characters” (The Winnipeg Free Press). Heather’s first novel, Adam’s Peak, was shortlisted for the 2008 Ethel Wilson Prize for fiction. Her short stories have been published in Canadian and American literary journals, and her second novel, Driving, is nearing completion.
Heather grew up in Montreal and Vancouver. She and her partner, novelist Paul Headrick, currently teach fiction writing and English literature at Langara College, Vancouver. Heather has also conducted fiction workshops for both apprentice and published writers at the San Miguel Writer’s Conference (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) and Thompson Rivers University (Kamloops, BC).
