Large language models are harvesting written content across the internet, and most writers have no idea their novels and articles are being used this way. The scale is staggering. ChatGPT alone was trained on 300 billion words. To put that in perspective, if you wrote 1,000 words every single day, it would take you roughly 2,740 years to reach just one billion words. The question every writer should be asking is: where did all those words come from?

This October, 13 Haunted Nights returns in a new edition featuring cover art by Winnipeg creator Randall Wall of Artlab Design & Development.

Librairie Phoenix, tucked into the vibrant heart of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, has been an anchor for literary discovery and community connection since its doors first opened. Just down the street from our old HQ, this bookstore has always felt like both a neighbour and an inspiration.

The Stygian Society originally launched The Order of the Written Word to create a space for human-focused storytelling. After its first year, the community has grown to over 500 members, and it made sense for The Order to become its own independent entity with its own website, socials, and identity. We continue to sponsor and support it, but all things O2W now live under their own banner, allowing the initiative to focus fully on fostering creativity and connection.
