The Writers' Co-op is a writing and editing group
based out of the Hart House Literary and Library
Committee that serves to provide a safe and open

for the weekly meetings, the Writers' Co-op is an
informal group, where drop-ins are welcome and
suggestions for future topics are considered. The
Writers' Co-op Coordinators also serve as liaisons
between the students of the writing community and
the Literary and Library Committee, so if there's a
literary event you'd like to see happen, they're the ones
to talk to. Whether you're interested in sonnets or want
someone to edit yours, the
Writers' Co-op is the premium
place to be. Like the Writers'
Co-op Page on Facebook for
upcoming events.
