We are so very grateful to our community. More than 100 people have given to our GoFundMe. Thank you for your support! We're closing in on a 15k miletone. Let's try to get there this week! www.gofundme.com/f/support-siwc

You did it! Thanks for pushing us past the 10k milestone. Let’s keep it going!

A poster advertising SiWC GoFundMe featuring a head shot of Diana Gabaldon and her quote, "What I like best about SiWC - aside from the delight of talking to dozens of other writers - is the constant sense of controlled excitement. Every day rolls smoothly from good food to entertaining speakers to pleasant molling in the hallways on the way to fascinating presentations, personal conferences in the Blue Pencil sessions, and on to evening events, which I will describe as Very Entertaining, and leave it at that!" We need storytellers now more than ever. Please support SiWC and keep the magic alive. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-siwc

We are just $23 short of hitting $10k on our fundraiser! Every little bit helps. Thank you to everyone who's given and spread the word so far. www.gofundme.com/f/support-siwc

Hey folks! I know people are stretched a little thin right now but I wanted to boost this fundraiser for @siwc.bsky.social -- which as some may know cancelled this year so as to avoid crossing the picket line for the con hotel staff. (But now they are broke!)

Shares appreciated!

Hey friends, SiWC is a labour of love for me and all our staff, board, and volunteers. Please boost our fundraiser to help ensure we're able to continue for years to come. Cancelling this year because of a strike at our hotel was expensive!

SiWC has been the beating heart of my local writing community for over thirty years—please consider donating to keep this not for profit conference going after a financially brutal year.

I really like the Surrey International Writer's Festival. It should be happening right now. But they canceled their event because of the workers who are fighting for a fair deal from the hotel that usually hosts the convention.

It was the right thing to do, but the cost to SIWC was $$$$$. help?

This monitor lizard has been lurking in my sketchbook for quite some time, and I recently decided to give her the attention she deserves.

On the drive home just now I was thinking about how Homer's epics were oral histories written as songs that were meant to be memorized and performed for an audience, and I realized that the Iliad and Odyssey were both very long versions of Barrett's Privateers
