Welcome
Writers’ Community of Simcoe County
Our organization functions as a hub for individuals and groups who are practitioners and fans of the written word or active in the writing industry. Our aim is to nurture and encourage writers at all levels and of all genres, independently and in co-operation with existing cultural and writing-related organizations, associations, libraries and community groups.
Our next luncheon is planned for Sunday, May 27th from 1:00-3:30 pm at the Lions Gate Banquet Hall, 386 Blake St., Barrie. We have an amazing panel of speakers lined up to motivate, inspire and enlighten writers in our community.
Throughout the year we meet on the third Sunday of the month from 1-3:30 p.m. WCSC offers you opportunities for information-sharing, networking and support, education and professional development. We will be partnering in events promoting the value of writers and writing in Simcoe County.We’re planning an eclectic and engaging agenda of diverse speakers and workshops.
