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.
