At WCC, we believe everyone is a writer. This special event will reach and celebrate vibrant voices across Canada.
What the WCC writetogether offers:
- 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 to expect from writetogether?
- 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
