Campfire Kinship invites submissions for an approved book project that highlights stories of multicultural women, and boosts awareness of Canadian immigration.
Calgary, Canada, December 03, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Campfire Kinship has been awarded a grant from Calgary Arts Development to advance its print-based storytelling project. Calgary Arts Development’s individual and collective grant programs seek to support projects that contribute to the vibrancy and vitality of Calgary’s arts sector.

Campfire Kinship has partnered with Elena Esina to ensure successful production management of the book. Interested applicants can check the call for submissions and apply before January 10, 2022. Selected participants will have an opportunity to attend a series of writing workshops led by Gayathri Shukla - the Founder of Campfire Kinship and a certified facilitator, and have their story published in the book in 2022.
