Established over 30 years ago, The Parkland Writers Alliance is one of the oldest and active writing groups in Saskatchewan. We welcome all writers and strive to encourage the art and craft of writing for pleasure and publication. Whether it is a poem in its infancy, a rough draft of a story or your own novel, the PWA offers a warm and inviting space for you to share your work.

The PWA meets the third Tuesday of the month, at the Yorkton Public Library, History Room at 7:00 pm.
