Publisher: Kootenay School of Writing

The Kootenay School of Writing is a response to the failure of most public
institutions to serve their artistic communities. It stands in opposition
too the concept of ?cultural industry¹ in its recognition that theory,
practice, and teaching of writing is best left to working writers.

To this end, the School represents a new hybrid: a form of parallel gallery
and centre of scholarship, open to the needs of its own constituency and
alert to the possibilities of all disciplines that involve language.

The Kootenay School of Writing welcomes both beginning and established
artists in all disciplines to share in its programs as both participants and
observers.

The organisation is incorporated as a not-for-profit society and is operated
by a volunteer collective of practising writers, without an administrative
director.

W magazine publishes new and unpublished writings from British Columbian and
other writers and poets.
