Mississauga Writers Group Promoting the Written Word! June 2015 MWG Writes On Q From The Editor In This Issue Welcome to the second issue of the Mississauga Writers Group. It has been a good quarter for our members. We participated in the Mississauga Literary Jane’s Walk where we got a chance to see some literary landmarks in the Mississauga area as well as read a few of our pieces to the general public. It was great fun – the weather was beautiful, the company was amazing and overall, it was a good experience for MWG. Featured Author – Hans Victor von Maltzahn interviewed by Samna Ghani Some of our members also participated at the Author Summit in Toronto and the Carassauaga Festival in Mississauga. A few of us had new book releases and a few have more planned for the Fall. The Mississauga Writers Group also plans to publish a new anthology in 2015 and will be part of the Culture Days event at the Mississauga Central Library. The Mississauga Writers Group continues to welcome members from the writing community and strives to promote the written word, learn from each other’s experiences and share our work and our thoughts with like-minded people. The second issue of MWG Writes on Q provides readers a wide variety of prose, poetry, writing tips and short stories. We have received very positive feedback about our first issue and we hope you will continue to read our work, contribute and provide feedback so that we can make it even better.
