Are you a writer or journalist
living in exile in Canada?
 

Did you have to leave your homeland because you were not able to write freely? If so, then PEN Canada is interested in hearing from you. We are an independent, not-for-profit organization that works to defend the right to freedom of expression both in Canada and around the world. Here in Canada, we collaborate with many exiled writers so that the censorship to which they were subject back home does not continue in another form in their adopted land.

We want to ensure that your voices are heard and your words read. To contact us, please write to David Cozac at PEN Canada (dcozac@pencanadaca).  To find out more about our Writers in Exile program, please visit our Web site at www.pencanada.ca.

About PEN Canada:

It campaigns on behalf of writers around the world persecuted for the peaceful expression of their thoughts. In Canada, it supports the right to freedom of expression as enshrined in Section 2 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
