What is Curious Writers Book Club?

Part book club, part writing class (minus the homework) for new and emerging writers who love words and want to dive deeper into the craft of writing. Join Stephanie Preston and Lu Sexton, two editors passionate about beautiful sentences and other writerly gems. We read and edit broadly, and our passions include literary fiction (Lu) and memoir (Stephanie). Lu is a writing coach and editor, and Stephanie is an editor and copyeditor. We are friends and associates and we love people who love writing and reading. In a small group, we will bring you some of our favourite passages and look at why they’re so good and how they work. We cover a different theme each session. If you dabble in writing, are quietly sitting on your first manuscript or just love words, join us and other word nerds as we unpack the magic woven into compositions by some of our favourite writers, and consider how some of their tricks might boost your own writing.
