Writing different demos effectively | The Write Project

One of the hardest parts of writing can be writing people with differing backgrounds to you. Do you not include it at all? That's not good. Do you include it even though you don't have the lived experience to write it authentically? That's not good either! Writers Alisha Morrissey, Nicole Smith, Heather Reilly and Rhea Rollmann break down their thoughts on this intense subject. Originally broadcast on May 18, 2026 on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. John's, and on other great stations across the country.

Questions with Mackenzie Nolan | Write Project

Offering the atmosphere of Twin Peaks and the queer camaraderie of comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, Veal is a thrilling exploration of friendship, fear, and the thin line between justice and vengeance. Delores “Lawrence” Franklin is a failed capitalist and a runaway headcase. Following a corporate meltdown, she moves to Mistaken Point, a small town known for two things: Mistaken Point University, where she and her best friend, Anastasia Lanes, are now enrolled, and the grisly murders of countless young women. At her new part-time arcade job, Lawrence meets Francesca “Franky” Delores, gritty, off-putting, and chronically serious, as opposite to Lawrence as her name would suggest. Franky is convinced there is a monster on the loose, a Frankenstein creature born from hatred, responsible for the string of killings the town insists are solved.
