CURRENT EVENTS
274 Garry St. OPEN EMAIL
What people are saying: Gotta hand it to the folks at Aqua Books--it's not every day that a small-business owner takes a chance on a building on Garry Street. And he went the extra mile too, lovingly renovating and restoring the space, resulting in a fantastic book-store/cafe combo. - Bryan Scott, Winnipeg

Rosie Chard is a writer and designer who was born and grew up in London, England. After studying anthropology and ecology she later qualified as a landscape architect and practised in London and Copenhagen. She emigrated to Canada in 2005 and now lives in Winnipeg where she divides her time between writing and garden design. Her first novel, Seal Intestine Raincoat, was published by NeWest Press in 2009.
Alex Merrill is a writer living in Winnipeg who has written way more than she has had published. It’s a good thing she likes the writing part! Some of her short stories have made it into Prairie Fire and Event, and a couple of others have appeared in the anthologies A/Cross Sections: New Manitoba Writing, and Creekstones: Words and Images. She’s working on something longer now and wonders when it will be finished.
Hedy Heppenstall lives in Winnipeg and works as a Public Health Nurse and a writer. Her short stories have appeared in Prairie Fire, Rhubarb and A/Cross Sections: New Manitoba Writing. She's thrilled to have been working with a mentor through the Manitoba Writers' Guild Mentorship Program in recent months.
