Nowlan was often fond of saying that he “was the only professional writer who would be classified as functionally illiterate by Statistics Canada.” After answering a job ad for reporter from the ''Hartland Observer'', he managed to secure the job by lying about his high school diploma and previous writing experience. Later in his career, Nowlan became a reporter and editor for the ''Telegraph Journal'' in Saint John. During his career as a newspaper reporter in Hartland, Nowlan met Richard Hatfield - a man whose occupation as premier of New Brunswick would later help secure UNB’s funding to keep Nowlan as a permanent writer-in-residence at UNB. In 1966 Nowlan underwent a set of serious surgeries after he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This was a flashpoint in Nowlan’s literary history because he began to have doubts that newspaper editing was the best career for him. The next year, he won the Governor General’s Award for his book ''Bread, Wine, and Salt'', a collection containing many poems that depicted his struggle with cancer. In 1968 he was granted his residency at UNB.

Nowlan was often fond of saying that he “was the only professional writer who would be classified as functionally illiterate by Statistics Canada.” After answering a job ad for reporter from the Hartland Observer, he managed to secure the job by lying about his high school diploma and previous writing experience. Later in his career, Nowlan became a reporter and editor for the Telegraph Journal in Saint John. During his career as a newspaper reporter in Hartland, Nowlan met Richard Hatfield - a man whose occupation as premier of New Brunswick would later help secure UNB’s funding to keep Nowlan as a permanent writer-in-residence at UNB. In 1966 Nowlan underwent a set of serious surgeries after he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This was a flashpoint in Nowlan’s literary history because he began to have doubts that newspaper editing was the best career for him.

Nowlan was often fond of saying that he “was the only professional writer who would be classified as functionally illiterate by Statistics Canada.” After answering a job ad for reporter from the Hartland Observer, Nowlan managed to secure the job by lying about his high school diploma and previous writing experience. Later in his career, Nowlan became a reporter and editor for the Telegraph Journal in Saint John. During his career as a newspaper reporter in Hartland, Nowlan met Richard Hatfield - a man whose occupation as premier of New Brunswick would later help secure UNB’s funding to keep Nowlan as a permanent writer-in-residence at UNB. In 1966 Nowlan underwent a set of serious surgeries after he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This was a flashpoint in Nowlan’s literary history because he began to have doubts that newspaper editing was the best career for him.

In 1968 he was granted his residency at UNB.
