The BC3 Writer's Club is a community that welcomes creatives who love writing, learning, and critiquing. Each week, we get together to read and discuss different pieces of writing created by members of Writer's Club to give feedback and constructive criticism. This allows the club members to become better writers, become better reviewers, and become more comfortable with their own writing style. We also challenge ourselves to a long-form writing project each year by participating in NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month in November. The club also hosts open mics on campus, welcomes featured readers and authors, holds other activities, and participates in community events.
