THE HISTORY
The Alexandra Writers Centre Society became a registered charity under the Societies Act of Alberta on September 22, 1981.
The organization was started by a small group of writers, led by J. Michael Fay, who had been running creative writing classes out of the basement of the Alexandra Centre in Inglewood for several years.
The AWCS has always been a place for writers to gather and support one another on the creative writing journey. That original foundation is what keeps us going strong today.
Come to learn about writing, stay for the community.
It doesn't matter if you're writing for something to do, overcoming trauma, creating a legacy project or want to become a published poet, novelist, short story writer. AWCS has something for everyone.
We welcome brand new writers, and the more experienced - all ages.
