About

We are a group of published writers based in Vancouver, Canada.

We met in The Writer’s Studio at SFU in 2018 under the mentorship of author Kevin Chong and we have continued meeting since then. We write fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and whatever else compels us to the page.

The Varietal is our chance to tell our stories. We write in several genres and post them here. We also stream writing-related content on YouTube twice a week:

• Fireside Fairytales – Tuesdays @ 6:30 pm PST/9:30 pm EST

• the BIG van book club – Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm PST/9:30 pm EST

• The Varietal Show – Thursdays @ 6:30 pm PST/9:30 pm EST

If you like a story, a stream, or an author here please let others know! You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram to stay notified of new stories or events.
