Emil Sher
Born and raised in Montreal, Emil Sher taught English at a secondary school
in rural Botswana before returning to Canada to pursue a degree in creative
writing. He has written professionally ever since, in a variety of genres,
including stage plays, radio dramas, short fiction, essays and children’s
television. He is particularly drawn to character-driven stories, narratives
fuelled by individuals struggling to navigate their way through a world
rarely of their own making. His works for stage include the adaptation
of Hana’s Suitcase, Mourning Dove, Derailed and
Sanctuary. His radio plays have been broadcast around the world,
and three have been collected in Making Waves. Emil lives in
Toronto with his wife and two daughters but spends summers (and as many
weekends as he can squeeze in) in Morin Heights, Quebec.
