From Montreal to Paris, Mavis Gallant's unwavering determination to be a writer | Creator Network

Growing up in Montreal as an aspiring creative, Mavis Gallant was a literary guidepost for illustrator Arizona O'Neill and many others. As part of CBC's Creator Network, O'Neill shares how Gallant achieved her dreams despite societal pushback.

Gallant was a writer born in Montreal who lived alone in a small Paris apartment for the majority of her adult life, typing out her short stories, most of which she sent to be published in The New Yorker, to pay her rent. These stories would later be turned into acclaimed collections. She published two novels, Green Water, Green Sky and A Fairly Good Time, a play and over 100 short stories in her life. She died in Paris in 2014 at the age of 91.
