What the WCC Community Writing Virtual Public Workshops offer:

• Inspiring prompts from our amazing facilitators
• Empowering feedback
• Confidentiality by treating everything as fictional
• A safe space for everyone's voice to be heard: We extend opportunity, dignity, and respect to everyone who wishes to write. Our workshops celebrate voice inclusive of race, ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, and mental health

What can I expect from these workshops?

• INSPIRATION: We write to prompts chosen to ignite deep creative expression
• WRITING IN COMMUNITY: We share a silent space for writing and exploration
• BRAVERY: We share what we have written (everyone is welcome to pass, too)
• DEEP LISTENING: We respond to each other’s work by reflecting back what is strong and memorable about the writing

What NOT to Expect:

• CRITIQUE: We provide empowering feedback on each writer's first draft writing
• TECHNIQUE: We focus on exploring each writer's authentic voice, regardless of form or technique
• TRAINING: Rather than "teaching", WCC workshops illuminate the innate creative genius in each of us

How can you support the Writers Collective of Canada?
