The Vancouver Island Chapter (VIC)
promotes excellence in romantic
fiction, helps writers become published and establish careers in the writing
field, and provides continuing support for writers within the romance publishing industry.
We have members from up island

down the island to the tip of the coast in Sidney.
We have members coming from
mainland BC and further south from Washington State
and even as far away as California, USA.
VIC gladly welcomes new members.
