The Team

WritingCommunity.ca was founded by two writers, Jes Trudel and Veronique Ginglo-Robert. They met at a local writers group in Timmins and founded the Silverleaf Writers Guild together with other writers in the community. The guild eventually transformed into this digital space for writers, with Jes and Veronique at the helm.
