Whistler Writers Festival

This is an annual event in Whistler, started by The Whistler Writing Society (TWWS) in 2002. It is a multi-venue, multi-artist, multi-day event. It involves over half of WWS’ volunteer and financial resources.

1500+ guests have been welcomed each year. The festival includes a masterclass workshop series for new and emerging writers on various topics of craft (e.g.: fiction, non-fiction, children’s & YA and more), reading events and panel discussions for the general public, and a Literary Cabaret combining music and readings. There is also workshop and readings geared to writers who are under 18, in partnership with the Whistler Public Library.
