Does anyone have a suggestion for where to go in Montreal to improve my written French?
I've lived here for most of my adult life and my spoken French is very good (meaning I can live for extended periods - days at a time - entirely in French), as is my reading. Writing, however, escapes me.
So - there are lots of Montrealers here... Where can I go to work on my written French? The Cont-Ed department of one of the universities? Private language school? Tutor or individual lessons?

Those famous free courses
All of the universities and cégeps have FSL courses that will fit the bill. Some:
u de m
Dawson
Cégep de Maisonneuve
McGill
UQAM
I've taken the intensive program at u de m (oral & written) and found it really fantastic.
I think my mind works differently because I can't separate speaking from reading from writing (I tend to visualize words as I say them) but I'm sure you could find a tutor who'd be willing to do online exchanges -- check university classifieds or craigslist for potential tutors.
