Hamilton Literary Festival Association

Our goal is to educate our community about canada's reach and diverse literary heritage while also providing a platform for local writers to share their work. In furtherance of this goal we produce an annual literary festival that includes reading events. Writing workshops author interviews panel discussions and youth events. We partner with other local organizations including the hamilton wentworth district school board the hamilton public library the litlive reading series the hamilton poetry centre hamilton youth poets the hamilton film festival and the hamilton philharmonic orchestra. We run an annual writing contest and the winner is invited to read at the festival.
