Aren Morris

Author. Educator. Theatre Maker. Producer. Typewriter Enthusiast. Gatherer of creative folk.

Aren A. Morris is a Halifax-based arts educator and novelist.

She has been writing, directing, facilitating, and producing student theatre in education for two decades and now works with Halifax Regional Arts. She loves finding ways to incorporate the Performing Arts into Curriculum Delivery.

Aren’s debut, We Happy Few, is a historical fiction novel taking place in Halifax, NS at the end of the Second World War and was released in May 2022. She is now editing and revising her sophomore novel (another historical fiction set in NS) and recently co-hosted the third installment of The Fantastic Grown Up Book Fair in Mahone Bay.

Her other endeavours include women’s creativity retreats, writing and producing youth theatre and dance shows, and multidisciplinary collaborations with local artists, dancers and writers.

She is one half of the short lived and now defunct Black Box Publishing House, which is now evolving to become Black Box Creative Development Agency, a container large enough to hold and promote all of Aren’s creative interests and pursuits.
