The Campus Resident is launching a Writer- In-Residence program and is looking for an upstart storyteller who wants to play a role in hyperlocal journalism.
We are looking for an eager individual who isn’t afraid to ask questions to produce thoughtful news articles and feature stories that document the news and events happening in our campus community.
No experience is required – just a deep interest in local news and an affinity for storytelling.
Interested? Please write to editor@thecampusresident.ca and tell us in 250 words or less why you think you would be a good fit. Please include three story ideas, your current address, and feel free to share a resume and some writing samples if you have them. The deadline to apply is 4 p.m. on Monday June 4.
This is a five-month residency commencing in August 2026 and includes a monthly paid stipend in return for the completion of a set of writing assignments. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work with professional journalists and writers to develop their reporting and writing skills.
Questions? Reach out to editor@thecampusresident.ca or visit thecampusresident.ca/submissions/ for further details. Residents of all ages are urged to apply.
