Book club for writers

A bright green poster entitled Book Club for Writers, presented by Federation of BC Writers. On the left is a photo of Frances Peck, special guest and FBCW ambassador. On the right is the cover of "Writing the Breakout Novel," by Donald Maass. The date runs along the top: Thursday, May 15, 7pm.

A dozen years ago, after I drafted my first novel but before I revised it, I came across Donald Maass’s remarkable Writing the Breakout Novel. Filled with practical advice and clear examples, it remains my favourite book on the craft of writing.

On May 15, 2025, at 7pm (Pacific), writers are invited to explore Maass’s masterpiece at a Zoom book club hosted by the Federation of BC Writers. The 75-minute session features a mix of large-group discussion, small-group breakouts, and remarks by me about how the book transformed my writing.

Open to all. Free for FBCW members; $10 for non-members. Details and registration on the FBCW website.
