It’s a space to share work, practice giving and receiving feedback, access resources and support, and spend focused time writing. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your skills, make progress on a project, or workshop new ideas, it’s a great opportunity to connect and grow within Calgary’s writing community. Registration essential. Recommended for ages 16 and over.
