PWAC Toronto’s 2011/2012 professional development series
Starting next month and running until next May, PWAC Toronto is hosting a series of evening seminars for writers, focusing on professional development topics such as alternate revenue sources, health and science writing, and narrative non-fiction. After the 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. seminars, which will take place either at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre or St. Paul’s on Bloor, participants can head to a nearby pub to have some drinks and unwind at Cheers with Peers Networking.
