The Brampton Writers' Guild began in 1985 as an organization dedicated
to helping established, emerging and writers-in-embryo to develop their talent,
their voice and their unique style.
We are a small but energetic group with a common interest in the written
word. We urge members to attend our monthly meetings to exchange ideas, views
and information on markets for their work. We celebrate our successes and learn
from our failures.
We encourage members to read from their work in progress and we offer
peer critique, feedback and encouragement. Whatever your genre - fiction or
non-fiction, poetry or plays - we extend a warm welcome. We are open to all
ages, and you do not have to be a Brampton resident to belong. Our common, and
primary, language is English but for those more comfortable writing in another
language, bring your work and discuss it in English with the group.
The Brampton Writers' Guild plays host to Brian Henry's workshops on a
regular basis. Through participation in workshops and group discussions, many
of our members have found success in competitions as well as publication in
hard copy and the digital world. Both the Brampton Writers' Guild and Brian
work toward helping you achieve your goal of becoming a successful and
respected author.
We meet on the first Thursday evening of the month, except July and August, at the Brampton Arts Council building, 24A, Alexander Street, Brampton. Please come!

Do the meetings still take place? I noticed this page was created or updated about a year ago.
ReplyDeleteYes, they still meet regularly.
ReplyDeleteIs there someone that I could contact for more info? A while ago, I sent a couple emails to jwinston42@sympatico.ca but I have not received a response. Not sure if he got it or if there is someone else I should contact.
ReplyDeletewhat is the age range for people coming? are teenagers aloud?
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers are allowed, though I expect its mostly adults. Best to send an email to the contact person to ask.
