    In 2023 the Edmonton Writers' Group began giving a series of seminars on fiction writing at the Capilano Branch of Edmonton  Public Library as part of the Partnership Program, and these seminars were repeated in 2024 with a few changes.

    We are pleased to announce that after some refinements these seminars will be presented once again in 2024 with some major changes and updates.

    The 2024 version will be moving to a workshop format, and will be separated into three sessions, with time between the sessions for participants to write their stories. The schedule for the sessions is below.
