Member Review
…renewing my membership with TWUC each year is the least I can do, seeing as TWUC has done so much for me, for example, Access Copyright, PLR, and defending our freedom to write. As a member, I enjoy benefits like Writers-in-the-Schools, the Public Readings Program and the listserv. Thank you TWUC for being there for me and all Canadian writers.
