Writing as a Profession Workshop

Coming to Whistler, March 1.

Do you know writers who want to get their books published but don't know how to go about it? We have an answer for you!

The Writers' Union of Canada (TWUC) is offering the Professional Development Workshop "How to Get Published and Survive as an Author", in eight Canadian cities. Experienced writers will provide key information about the business of writing at each full-day event. The Workshop is designed to enhance the careers of book writers, whether unpublished, emerging or established. Who publishes books in Canada and how they do it? Where did all the bookstores go? Can an editor do that? What does the World Wide Web mean to the writer? How does anybody make a living at this?

Most workshops of this caliber charge hundreds of dollars. TWUC is asking a modest $40 to cover costs, including lunch. Attached please find an electronic brochure. Please circulate them to everyone you think might be interested in coming to this event. If you would like paper copies of the brochure please contact Valerie Laws at info@writersunion.ca with your address.

Many thanks for your time and attention.

Deborah Windsor,
Executive Director
