Member Review
I joined The Writers' Union of Canada as a new author in 2000 because I needed the support and companionship of fellow scribes. I have remained a member, and will always lend my wheezy baritone to this powerful chorus, because our collective voice must never be stilled. As a great American playwright once wrote, ‘Attention must be paid’.
