Full Circle: How to Thrive in a Writing Circle
panel discussion at When Words Collide
Calgary, AB
Writing circles don't have to be scary, even if the writing is.
Join members of the Federation of BC Writers Dark Fiction Writing Circle for an inspiring session about creating a writing circle that will last, or finding one that is the perfect fit for you and your work. You can have it all–community, craft refinement and career development. They’ll guide you through important topics such as group structure, critique etiquette, communication, creating a safe space, and group goals and projects.
Whether you’re writing jump scares or love affairs, finding your circle can help take your stories to the next level.
