Please join us for a special event roughly midway between Calgary and Edmonton! We really want to see more connections between Alberta writers outside of the two city centers and what better way to do it than to meet in the middle?!
There will be complimentary snacks, an open mic, and an opportunity to socialize with fellow writers from around the province! Hosted by Wendy McGrath.
