NOWW Begins its 2024/25 Season!

With our 2024 season starting off in flying fall colours, NOWW would like to invite everyone to join in for an exciting new year, featuring workshops (both virtual and in-person), book launches, the ever popular Wednesday Words with Vera Constantineau, and maybe a social or two! We're also hoping to build on the success of our very successful LitFest 2024, with a bigger, better event that features more of Northwestern Ontario's best writers!

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in helping out in any way, please send us an email! We look forward to working with all writers in NWO and can't wait to see what this year brings!
The 26th Annual Writing Contest is Closed - thanks to all who entered!
The 27th Annual Writing Contest will be Opened January 1, 2025
