Young writers in the Strathcona County area are encouraged to join the Writers Foundation of Strathcona County Young Writers Circle under the guidance of established WFSC members. We will mentor young writers who have a passion for the written word. We will provide positive encouragement in creative writing projects and feedback based on their requests. If young writers are interested in running their own meetings, we will suggest protocol and content that will make this a positive experience for them. Annual Student Membership fees are only $10. Additional fees apply if workshops, speakers or one-on-one sessions are booked or requested. 

For 2010 we meet the first Tuesday of every month up to and including August at the Strathcona County Library in the Multi-purpose Room. After August the meetings places are TBA as the Library prepares to move to its new location in November.

Share your writing with others who love the written word as much as you do.

*NOTE: for the summer meetings we will offer computer help to those of you experiencing trouble or concern navigating the WFSC Web Site - we would like to encourage everyone to use the "virtual writing circle."
