NOTL Writers’ Circle
was launched in March of 2013 to bring together people in our community who love to write.

​Our group is diverse; novices to professionals, men and women, from a variety of backgrounds. This diversity and the richness of experience brings vitality to our meetings.

Being part of a writing community that supports our efforts and provides us with constructive feedback, keeps us motivated and challenged.

Our Goals:

• To share information
• Inspire each other from our successes
• Support and encourage each other

• Challenge each other to meet writing goals
• Provide opportunities to continue learning and growing as a writer

• Create opportunities to share our writing

• Have fun!
  
  

Anyone wanting to join our writing community and residing in Niagara-on-the-Lake is welcome.

 In addition to our critiquing meetings, we have regular workshops and open mic sessions. If you would like to join us, contact our Chair– Richard West at nishisan@gmail.com
