Our Prince George regional office is on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Lheidli T’enneh Nation.

There are three keys to better writing: The first is talking about what you read (shameless plug for SCI BC’s book club). The second is sharing your writing with fellow writers. And the third is learning to give and receive critique (the word is pretentious, but the group is not).
If you’ve never attended a writer’s workshop before, I know what you’re thinking: Sharing?! And while it’s true that some people write for themselves, the rest of us dream of our work being enjoyed by another person one day, which means that when you’re ready, you will need to take the leap. And what better place than a small group of people who all feel the same churning feeling in their midsection!
Our monthly writer’s workshop is a cozy place where we take turns sharing our writing and learning how to give and receive productive feedback. Your host, Lisa Hislop, is a professional fiction editor who will help you strengthen your writing and build your confidence as a writer.

This ambulatory peer group led by Ryan Clarkson is for those who have some form of ambulation (walking) after a spinal cord injury. We are hoping to have participation from members who are walking full time, and others who still mostly depend on a mobility device to get around. Looking forward to seeing you in this virtual group!
