learn MoreI don’t think I would have ever succeeded in becoming a writer without The Quebec Writers’ Federation. QWF not only offered workshops that helped me improve my craft and obtain valuable information on what steps to take at various points in my writing journey, but it also helped me to find other writers to join with in writing critique groups and in creating literary events. More than anything, though, QWF provided me with a community, something that is absolutely critical when doing work that can otherwise be very solitary. Thank you!
