Don't miss workshops sponsored by the Canadian Authors Association (CAA), National Capital Region (NCR). They are held approximately every second month, usually beginning in October, until May of the following year.

Today, they present "Everything I've Learned about the Writing Game — So Far".

Phil Jenkins will pass on the many tricks and potholes (plot holes?) he has picked up and put in his pockets.
