Henrietta HaultainWhile their craft is often a solitary activity, writers require aid in a variety of areas such as training, funding and marketing. The groups section focuses on assistance that is available to writers from the initial inception of an idea to the selling of the final draft. Far from being comprehensive, the section focuses on a few of the community resources available for those involved in the literary arts including training institutions and writers-in-residence programs, funding resources, prizes, publishers and book-sellers.
