Welcome Book Lovers

August is here, and that means fall is just around the corner. Get planning with Kingston WritersFest’s newly launched Writers Studio—ten master classes with some of Canada’s most accomplished writers, including best-selling novelist Sandra Gulland, CBC Summer Pick Joan Thomas, Trillium shortlisted Cordelia Strube, and Man Booker nominee Lisa Moore. Whether you’re an emerging or an established writer, our master classes will spark your imagination and stretch your literary muscles.

We’ll post our complete schedule of onstage Events on August 12, when tickets go on sale. In the meantime, don’t forget our Good Movie, Great Book Contest for a chance to win tickets to our fabulous opening night.

If you’re a high school teacher or student, you won’t want to miss our Festival Field Trip. Check our Youth page for details about the Field Trip and our special Youth Events.

Would you like to get involved? Become an Author Patron and get close to your favourite writer—and help the Festival, too.

More than 50 authors are coming to Kingston in September. You’ll find their books on our Summer Reading List, so start reading now.

We’ll keep you hanging on every word!
