Words shape our worlds. They can delight, inspire, provoke, comfort and unite—as do the authors, journalists and poets who wield them.
Being nominated or shortlisted for—let alone winning—the Giller has a history of changing a writer’s life and career forever. One of the authors appearing at this event will win the richest literary prize in Canada on November 20. Come meet and hear from Canada’s stellar literary talents on opening night at the Writers Fest. What a way for the Festival’s Artistic Director Hal Wake to begin this year’s extravaganza of writers! The longlist will be announced in September, and the shortlist in early October. But this event will bring all the shortlisted Scotiabank Giller Prize finalists together. Check writersfest.bc.ca on October 2 for the announcement of the lineup.
Presented in partnership with the Scotiabank Giller Prize.
