Opportunities for
Writing in B.C.

Can a would-be writer in
British Columbia become a pub-
lished writer? Is freelance
writing a viable career?

The spring series of Douglas
College Creative Writing and
Media Arts seminars promises
to address these and other ques-

easier to get into."

Jackson’s course is geared
towards creative people who
want to make their vacations
pay off and supplement their in-
come. Topics will include: how
to choose a subject; where to sell
