Member Review
I write my TWUC membership dues every year when I get my PLR cheque, which we only have because of the advocacy of this organization. I wouldn't want to think of the kind of literary landscape we would be inhabiting without it, and can only wishfully imagine the good work that could be accomplished if every Canadian writer became a part of it.
Member Profile
Dianne Young
I am, in alphabetical order, fifty-eight years old, a mother, a retired educational assistant, a widow, a writer and a yodeller. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan, albeit in many different communities. I now live in Martensville, which is a small city just north of Saskatoon.
I have been writing for children for over 25 years. My first book, The Abaleda Voluntary Firehouse Band, was published in 1990. My fifth book was published in March 2012. I was really excited about it because I first wrote that story 19 years ago! I am a member of CANSCAIP, SCBWI, the Saskatchewan Writers Guild, CCBC, TWUC, and two writing groups for children’s writers.
I love reading and writing (except about myself) and learning new things. I am easy-going and have a good sense of humour.
