"Joining FBCW connected me with a writing circle that changed everything. I found my critique partners, my confidence, and eventually my publisher—all through this community."

"The literary contests pushed me to submit work I'd been sitting on for years. Winning the poetry prize gave me the validation I needed to call myself a real writer."

"As a new Canadian, I wasn't sure where to start. The workshops and mentorship I found here helped me tell my story in a way that resonated with readers across BC."
