Our philosophy is simple: fun and work, humour and support. We write all genres and in all styles and support each other by providing encouragement and helping each other develop thick skins in the face of industry rejections. We understand that as writers we must do the majority of the work ourselves and we embrace this by giving honest critiques mixed with gentle grace and lots of humour.

ReplyDeleteIt was amazing reading that AS I was being inspired on a new story that took place mostly in Victoria. VERY good book!
FYI- Donald Maas will be in Surrey for the writing conference in October. http://www.siwc.ca/
Hal and I are both going. There are still some early bird spots available, I believe, but they're going fast.
