WordFest brings
local, national and international writers and reader to Calgary for
seven days and 60 events worth of literary fun
Lit-nerds look forward to this prestigious literary festival all year as
an opportunity to chat with their favourite wordsmiths, share their work
and take in a few performances. WordFest is spicing things up this year
with some new programming including the Literary Death Match, a humorous
reading series that brings together new and emerging authors to perform
their most electric writing before a panel of judges who will declare a
winner.
Canadian-legend Margaret Atwood kicks off the festival with readings
from MaddAddam, the final book in her internationally-celebrated
dystopian trilogy.
We feel smarter already. Sara Samson
October 14 to 20, events take place around Calgary and Banff, www.wordfest.com
