Member Review
The Writers' Union of Canada provided me with invaluable support at a difficult point in my career when it seemed that all the decision-making power over my work was in the hands of the publishing industry. I will always be grateful for that, as well as for the work that the Union continues to do every day to promote and protect the rights of writers.
