ABOUT CAMBRIDGE AUTHORS : In 2016, Tara Mondou and Debby Spitzig co-founded Cambridge Authors after finding out that writers in Cambridge Ontario felt writing can sometimes be a lonely and isolating endeavor. Tara and Debby quickly provided a positive space for serious writers who wanted to connect with other writers who had similar goals and objectives.
In 2025, established local author Lindsey- Anne Pontes took over the leadership role of the group. Below is information on the committee behind Cambridge Authors.
Members of Cambridge Authors are invited to join our Facebook group, attend monthly meetings, that take place the first Tuesday of very month from 6-8pm. For more information, please contact Lindsey via our CONTACT PAGE.
