About Us

The Surrey Writers’ School (SWS) was created in spring 2009 by Surrey writers / teachers Lois Peterson, Ed Griffin and Doug Brunt to replace the now deceased Diploma Program.

       Our goal is to provide practical skills to writers at all levels of their development, whether they choose to write for publication or personal use.

    Check out our schedule of courses, workshops and readings and be sure to check back often for updates.

Sponsorships and Partnerships

The Surrey Writers' School is presently partnered with Alexandra Neighbourhood House to present In Your Own Words, a youth literacy project.

We're very grateful to Surrey Public Library for supplying workshop venues.
