We are delighted to host a stellar line-up of writers from Canada at the Festival this year.
Spanning Vancouver to Saskatchewan, Ottawa to Winnipeg, as well as fiction, non-fiction and writing for young people, are:
Esteemed Booker Prize-winning novelist of Life of Pi Yann Martel (Son of Nobody)
Leading political commentator and writer David Moscrop (Too Dumb for Democracy?, Elbows Up!, On Nationalism)
2025 Booker Prize-longlisted Ukrainian-Canadian author of Endling and Good Citizens Need not Fear Maria Reva
Double Governor General’s Literary Award-winning writer for children and adults and member of Norway House Cree Nation David A. Robertson (The Misewa Saga, 52 Ways to Reconcile, All the Little Monsters)
They join Artistic Director Lyndsey Fineran for introductory interviews about their work, share insights into their writing lives in their respective corners of Canada, and discuss what conversations they’re looking forward to having at AWF.
With thanks to our friends at Vancouver Writers Fest.
