The Writers’ Union of Canada (TWUC) is a national organization which brings writers together for the advancement of their collective interests. It is an organization which aims not only at embracing but also fostering diversity and inclusiveness in all their forms.

As such, TWUC’s organizational structure has been devised to facilitate democratic processes of decision making. These processes enable its members to formulate policies and develop programs which incorporate diverse points of view.
TWUC recognizes that power relations in Canadian society are unequal and that this reality is reflected in the lives of writers. While advancing the interests of all its members, the Union pays particular attention to the inequities that writers face due to racism and other forms of discrimination based on cultural or linguistic background, class, economic status, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion and/or ableness.
