Youth

Kingston WritersFest is committed to providing an enriched educational experience for youth in eastern Ontario by stimulating reading and literary expression in young people and by providing opportunities for youth, from pre-schoolers to secondary students, to meet and listen to some of Canada’s most prominent writers.

Think You Can Write?

The Kingston WritersFest's annual writing contest, Think You Can Write? is now officially closed.

Three local area judges, writers Eric Folsom, Shelley Tanaka, and Maureen Garvie, will create a shortlist of 30 entries to be sent to our final judge.

We invite you to check our Youth page during the fourth week of June to see the names of the three finalists. The name of the winner will be announced at the International Marquee Event at the Grand Theatre on Wednesday, September 25, 2013.

Check back with us over the summer for details on our Festival Field Trips, Teen Writers Studios, Authors@School, and Kids on Sunday events. Like our Facebook page, follow our Twitter feed
