Bunch of Seven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bunch of Seven was a group of aspiring science fiction and fantasy writers who met regularly in Toronto during the 1980s. The group included Tanya Huff, Fiona Patton, S. M. Stirling, Edward Llewellyn, Shirley Meier, Karen Wehrstein, Lloyd Penney, Louise Hypher, Stephanie Rendino and others. The group was modelled loosely on The Scribblies, a Minneapolis writing circle, and itself became a model for other Toronto writing groups including the Cecil Street Irregulars, the Ink*Specs, and others. The name is derived from the Group of Seven, a group of well-known Canadian artists.
