Producers of the Whistler Readers and Writers Festival (in addition to Literary Leanings, the Collective Novel Experiment and a host of other geeking-out-together-on-words events), the Vicious Circle, as Whistler Writers Group is known, was founded in 2001 to provide a forum for local writers to develop their craft and connect with like-minded literati.
This blog was initially created as a virtual community for the inkslingers, scribblers and keyboard pounders of the Sea to Sky, and to support the 2008 Whistler Readers and Writers Festival and Writer-in-residence program.
The 2009 Whistler Readers and Writers Festival will take place September 11-13 2009. More information at www.theviciouscircle.ca
