Media Releases

The Northwestern Ontario Writers Workshop (NOWW), a not-for-profit organization, is a group for writers, seasoned and new, who hail from Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We do readings, offer writing workshops, and run an annual writing contest. Most of all, we provide inspiration and support to our members, and work hard to put them on the literary map!
Are you a writer or organization looking for financial or volunteer support from NOWW? Read up on our guidelines and
