ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to the third in my series of special episodes of Write, Publish, and Shine as I take you on a deep dive into the creation of Room magazine issue 46.3, where I was lead editor of the issue.One of my jobs as editor is to commission one established writer to be featured in the magazine. To do so, I started by searching for writers working in the genre of ghosts and scary stories and was pleased to come across an anthology of Arctic horror stories, *[Taaqtumi](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44222604-taaqtumi)* and thought, oh, yes, when I read Aviaq Johnston’s piece in the anthology. I invited her to be our commissioned writer for Room 46.3 and she said yes.Aviaq Johnston is a young Inuk author from Igloolik, Nunavut. Her debut novel *Those Who Run in the Sky* was released in the spring of 2017 and shortlisted for a Governor General’s award that year. In 2014, she won first place in the Aboriginal Arts and Stories competition for her short story “Tarnikuluk,” which also earned her a Governor General’s History Award.You can pick up your copy of Room 46.3, Ghosts (digital or print) at roommagazine.com.All of the notes for this episode are up at rachelthompson.co/podcast/82—WRITERLY LOVE LETTERS: Sent each week to your inbox. rachelthompson.co/letters
