Monday Writers Group

The Monday Writers Group is a self-directed interest group of the University Women’s Club of Vancouver, with a special focus on memoirs. The group meets each Monday morning to discuss writing techniques, write to prompts, share work in progress, and offer one another supportive feedback. Members experience a range of emotions—laughter, tears, and a shared appreciation that 'hard writing makes easy reading.' Over time, the group has been inspired and instructed by presentations from guest speakers as well as from members who have themselves been published. Given the personal and sometimes vulnerable nature of the writing and sharing, the group is intentionally kept to seven members. The group is also willing to support other interested writers in forming a second group if there is enough interest, allowing more people to benefit from this creative and collaborative environment.
