Spirit Ink
Spirit Ink is an exciting new TNQ initiative that’s dedicated to supporting emerging Indigenous writers. Through a combination of mentorship, writer-in-residence placements, and bursaries, we aim to provide not just publishing opportunities but a platform for Indigenous storytellers to hone their craft and share their voices with the world.
In a continued effort to support and uplift Indigenous writers, Spirit Ink will offer two full bursaries for Indigenous writers to attend our upcoming Wild Writers Retreat in May 2026, giving them space to grow, connect, and thrive in a community of writers.
