Winnipeg Writers Festival


© Joanne Reid

This week, October 14-19, the first ever Winnipeg Writers Festival is on. Given the restrictions of space, I thought I'd opt for this approach instead of writing a short article.

Below is the list of writers who are participating in the Festival, which is primarily a way to bring the best of Canada's writers together in one place and let them show the public what they can do. Where possible, I have linked their names to their web sites or web sites in which they are mentioned.
