Member Review
For me, membership in The Writers' Union of Canada is a lifeline. In pursuing the mainly solitary working life of a freelance writer, I've found it invaluable to have contact and interaction with other members and to have access to the informative services that TWUC offers to its members through its committed staff.

Heidi Greco
A longtime resident of South Surrey/White Rock (B.C.), Heidi works as a writer, editor, and instructor. She leads workshops on a variety of topics, making presentations at conferences, galleries, and schools. She has worked with inmates in the writing program at Matsqui Penitentiary and in a program sponsored by the Elizabeth Fry Society at Surrey Pre-Trial Facility.
She helped develop a long standing Open Mic series in her community, as well as the for-now-dormant Readings by the Salish Sea literary series. She served as her city's 'resident poet' in 2012 as part of the cross-Canada Mayor's Challenge and helped establish an official Poet Laureate program there.
She enjoys lazy gardening as well as foraging for berries, mushrooms, and lines for new poems.
