E. D. Morin, writer, editor

​

E. D. (Elaine) Morin is the editor of two literary collections, Impact: Women Writing After Concussion and Writing Menopause, both with Jane Cawthorne. Her first publication, Castrations Lessons, was birthed as a limited-run short story chapbook for the Banff Centre. Winner of the Brenda Strathern Writing Prize, she was for many years a director of the reading series Writing in the Works, a member of the Crabapple Mews Collective and a creative writing instructor at Alexandra Writers' Centre. The land where she gratefully lives is on the historic, traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy and Nations of Treaty 7, including the Siksika Nation, Piikani Nation, Kainai Nation, Stoney Nakoda Nation and Tsuut'ina Nation. This is also where the historic Métis Nations of Southern Alberta make their home.
