James McCann

James McCann is a graduate of the school of life and believes that a good education comes foremost from experience. He has taken this philosophy into the classroom to teach creative writing techniques to countless students in schools, as well as to teachers to help them improve their classrooms. He is a familiar face in local festivals and writer’s camps. He also co-hosts a podcast series, Authors Like Us.

James McCann grew up on the icy plains of Manitoba, where he spent most of his teenage years reading comics and playing Dungeons and Dragons. Both of these hobbies taught him the storytelling tools that he now uses as an author and creative writing instructor. When he isn't writing, McCann is either practicing tae kwon do or escrima, or going on hikes with his Shih Tzu, Conan.
