    As a budding novelist, I wonder if there's anyone on this forum who is also interested in writing: novels, poetry or even travel writing.

    I know someone in the US who's a struggling writer. I can put you in touch with him.

    Thanks for the offer. Is he on forums like this one? Really I'm just happy chatting to people online and sharing anecdotes etc. I was also hoping to discover Canadian writers, as I haven't had any luck coming across particular writing groups or forums. any ideas?

    You could Google Canadian writers groups.

    All very official looking groups that came up, but thanks for the suggestion. :)

    Personally, I like novels, especially historical novels. On the other hand, poetry is not my cup of tea.

    I'm just starting out myself. Recently, I submitted 2 short stories to the Quebec Writer's Association which sponsored a writing contest. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I didn't win any prize. In any case, a writing contest does not necessarily indicate talent; just striking the right cord with the judges. :)

    I am a writer and a poet. For a few years I have been working on a novel. Because it is not yet completed and copyrighted, I will not say here what it is about.
