Pre-Conference Sessions with the Writers’ Guild of Alberta
From their website: “The Writers’ Guild of Alberta Annual 2025 Spring Conference will explore major influences on genre and form through time. We will look at how writers continue to be inspired and influenced by those before them, and how we shape the landscape for those who come after us. Workshops, masterclasses, and panels will also delve into the business of writing and how to strengthen craft skills.
Proposed pathways will guide participants — novice, intermediate, and established — on ideal offerings according to where they feel they are on their literary journeys. However, all sessions are open to everyone in attendance; there is no right way to attend the conference.”
Registrants can also attend online pre-conference sessions. For more information visit the Writers Guild of Alberta.
