Doug recently adapted his King’s College address into an editorial for the Globe and Mail, which was published on December 29, 2012, in the weekend edition. Share his ruminations on how Canada can produce more great authors, and great readers, here.

Dear Mr. Gibson,
I liked your article in today’s G&M. If writing was approached and supported like a sport, I’ve no doubt that Canada would produce more champion novelists. To become an elite writer, the aspiring novelist would need to develop the discipline and work habits of top athletes. In addition to genius, the great 18th and 19th century novelists resembled elite athletes in their work habits.
