Thanks

The Alexandra Writers' Centre Society
is a not-for-profit organization incorporated September 9, 1981, and is a federally registered charity No. 11921 1852 RR0001.

Our Objective — Mission
is to enhance the creative writing experience through learning, community and support.

The Alexandra Writers' Centre
uses the "free fall" method of creative writing. This is the basis for all instruction. "Free fall", first introduced by W.O Mitchell, was further refined by Michael Fay when he set up his own creative writing courses. In the late seventies, Michael Fay rented an office in the Alexandra Centre where he gave lessons in creative writing. By 1981, he had gathered together a small group who wanted to form a writer's society and it was through their efforts that The Alexandra Writers' Centre was born.

FreeFall
magazine is published two times a year. Submission deadlines are June 30 and December 31 (contest issue). A wide variety of topics, genres and illustrations for literary and general audiences are considered. Please contact us for information. Visit the new website at www.freefallmagazine.ca

Today
The Alexandra Writers' Centre is flourishing and there is an increasing demand for our creative writing services - all done by volunteers.
