Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?

The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.

We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.

This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works. 

There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.

If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.

Have you ever considered writing a mystery? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the characteristics of various types of mysteries and how to add ingredients from other genres, like thrillers and crime. We’ll discuss practical techniques for presenting clues, building suspense, and making the reader play an active part in solving your puzzle. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, this session will equip you with the tools to craft page-turning mysteries.

Connect with other young writers, build your writing confidence, and participate in writing activities. 

For ages 9-12. Registration required.
