Nina teaches writing at the University of Toronto and George Brown College. She also gives writing workshops and courses based on her award-nominated guidebook “The Fiction Writer: Get Published, Write Now!” (Starfire World Syndicate). The textbook is used in colleges and universities throughout North America and Europe. It was translated and published by Editura Paralela 45 in Romania. The next book in her writing guide series “The Journal Writer: Finding Your Voice” was released in winter of 2012 in Romanian by Editura Paralela 45 and in English in early 2013 by Starfire. The third book in her writing guide series is “The Ecology of Story: World as Character” published June 2019. This guidebook instructs on basic ecology and provides guidance in world building, role of place in story and use of metaphor.

Nina’s “Ecology & Story“ world building workshop series is given across Canada to writers of eco-fiction, science fiction and fantasy. Her recent book “Water Is…The Meaning of Water” is an educational book on water and stewardship. Considered a “biography” on water, it was Margaret Atwood’s #1 choice in the New York Times ‘Year in Reading.’
