About this Course

This is a creative writing circle. Participants can share their writing (e.g. short stories, memoirs, poetry, novels/novellas, flash fiction, postcard fiction, journal entries) in a non-judgmental, safe and open space. There will also be writing prompts given each class, so strong awareness of writing fundamentals is needed for the participant to be fully engaged in writing exercises. Facilitated by Ange Frymire—writer, author, storyteller, teacher, communications specialist, former broadcaster/journalist—whose stories have been published in hundreds of print publications. Her writing has been published in 3 memoir books and 1 textbook (all multi-author collaborations), which ranked in Amazon’s Top 10 Bestseller’s List. Working in communications for over 30 years earned her multiple awards, including Canadian Mentor of the Year with CPRS (Canadian Public Relations Society). Her passion for storytelling and writing drew her to becoming a regular storyteller and host with Nanaimo’s Around Town Storytellers.
