Did you know Aqua Books also has workshops?

Making it Right is for those who have written more than a few poems, but have been afraid to show them to anyone except their closest friends, and understand that revision is an important part of the writing process.
Cost: $60. Phone 943-7555 or email ariel@aquabooks.ca to register.
Registration is limited to 12 people.
Aren't we lucky in Canada? We're free to read and write whatever we want.
As part of Freedom to Read Week, the Winnipeg Public Library and the Manitoba Writers' Guild are presenting a Reading Marathon of challenged and challenging literature on February 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 5;00 p.m. in the Millennium Library.
