The anthology includes Pamela Painter, Brian Doyle, Frankie McMillan, Karen Brennan, Stuart Dybek, Robert Scotellaro, and W. Todd Kaneko, and spotlights Joy Williams and SmokeLong Quarterly.
Dr Ian Seed was also honoured to received an “Above and Beyond Award” for ‘Most Helpful Feedback’ at the 2017 Students’ Union lead award ceremony. The Above and Beyond Awards allow students to applaud those that have made their university experience the best it can be.
Students nominated Dr Ian for the award and one was quoted as saying, “Ian gives very helpful, honest feedback, being both positive and critical in his comments. His feedback has helped me and other students to improve our work dramatically.”
