Conversations at PCWC - 2025

Next session: No session will be held in March, instead PCWC will hold its Annual General Meeting on March 9.

Conversations at PCWC are a relaxed, informal, Q&A type session where conversations around writing, over a range of topics, will be programmed throughout the year. Occurring, roughly, monthly there will usually be a short presentation about the topic followed by conversation. It’s a great way for members and friends to engage with others about the wonderful world of writing! Updates to our sessions are posted here. Free for members. Non-members $10.

We are proud to bring back our Residency Program for 2025!

The Story Mentor’s Secrets of Storytelling course is now open for bookings. Click the link for more details.
