Vision & Mandate

Our vision statement is simple: Creating Community Through Words.

Our mandate grows from that vision.

• Help New Brunswick writers to write.
• Help them acquire the professional skills to achieve financial self-sufficiency as writers.
• Raise public awareness of literary culture by showcasing works of New Brunswick and other writers.

Our mandate embodies five objectives.

• Nurture a sense of community among New Brunswick writers of all ages, genres, and levels of development, in all geographic areas of the province.
• Develop and sustain professionalism among New Brunswick writers through workshops on both the craft and the business aspects of writing.
• Promote the works of New Brunswick writers.
• Raise public awareness of – and engagement in – the culture of writing, storytelling, and literature in New Brunswick.
• Promote literacy in schools and in the New Brunswick community at large.
