About

Q: What is Nineteen Questions?

A: Nineteen Questions asks writers how they became who they are. A twist on the parlour game “Twenty Questions” that seeks to guess the identity of a person (or place or thing) through a series of questions and answers, it explores the career trajectories, challenges, and writing lives of established writers. A project of the  University of British Columbia School of Creative Writing, it is meant to inspire emerging writers to chart their own paths.

Q: Who are the writers?

A: Our writers are UBC Creative Writing students, primarily graduate students in the MFA program and undergraduates in the BFA program.
