HOT OPP: The Writers’ Union of Canada’s Professional Development Symposium

The Writers’ Union of Canada (TWUC) is offering SECURE FOOTING IN A CHANGING LITERARY LANDSCAPE , a Professional Development Symposium for writers in all phases of their careers in Halifax , Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Vancouver , in February and March 2010.

Even if you have attended a Writers’ Union of Canada workshop in the past, you won’t want to miss this exciting new day-long exploration of the changing literary landscape. Authors Betsy Warland and Ross Laird will outline the current changes in the literary industry; explore the innovative digital opportunities; and discuss the creativity, economics, and community of a writer’s life. Deborah Windsor , the Union’s executive director, will discuss authors’ contracts in the digital age.

Through personal stories and profiles of writers who have inventively succeeded, Betsy, Ross, and Deborah will assist participants in creating their own personal strategy to address creativity, economics, and community in their writing life.

This full-day event is designed to address the creative and financial questions that arise as writers navigate print-based and digital literary landscapes. The symposium also explores the importance of community and the need for writers to develop their own writing community.

Most workshops of this calibre charge hundreds of dollars. TWUC is asking a modest $45.00 to cover costs, including lunch. For more information please check http://www.writersunion.ca/ww_prodevelopment.asp Please circulate this information to writers you think might be interested in coming to this event. Space is limited so register today.
