The Writers' Trust of Canada ran its Workshop Program from 2006 until 2009. Though the program is now defunct due to lack of funding, we feel the information contained on this blog is still useful to aspiring authors. If you'd like to learn more about the Writers' Trust and our programs to advance, nurture, and celebrate Canadian writers and writing, please visit our website: http://www.writerstrust.com. Thank you.
