GOALS

Our goals are:

1. To act as a contact and support group for writers in the Flin Flon and Creighton area

2. To improve the craft of our writing through critiquing and workshops

3. To link with other organizations to provide information about the writing on a local level

MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS

Meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month at 1:30 p. m.from September to June at a place to be announced. Phone 687-5697 or e-mail for further information.

Facilitators may present workshops on various topics of writing that may be used in any genre of writing. Meetings also include a sharing of writing. Critiquing sessions are also held. Members are welcome to bring out manuscripts to be critiqued.

A word challenge and word prompt are given every month and all members are challenged to write something using a specific word and / or prompt.

The Flin Flon Writers Guild is open to any adult interested in the craft of writing. No writing experience is necessary. Interested persons are welcome to attend two meetings to see what the Guild is all about. Fees are $20.00 per year

The Guild also tries to keep its membership aware of what is happening on the provincial and national writing scene.

GRAND CHALLENGE

Every month members take turns choosing two or more words. Members are then challenged to write a manuscript in any genre.

In May, all words used in the monthly writing challenged are compiled into a master list of 30-50 words. Members then attempt to write a manuscript in any genre using as many challenge words as possible.

Can't think of anything to write. Try our Monthly Word Challenge and see what you can write.
