Ottawa International Writers Festival

     

Canada's Festival of Ideas since 1997 - The Ottawa International Writers Festival, Spring and Fall Editions, and STEP INTO STORIES are not-for-profit events.

We launched the first Ottawa International Writers Festival at the National Arts Centre on September 5, 1997. It featured writers from Ireland, sharing the stage with Canadian writers from across the country.

For more than a decade now, we've been celebrating the world’s best writing from home and abroad.

The Writers Festival has featured more than 50 Governor General Award winners, two dozen Trillium Award winners, eight Giller Prize winners, seven Pulitzer Prize winners, five Booker Prize winners and Nobel Laureates Naguib Mahfouz and José Saramago, along with bestsellers and wonderful emerging voices.

Local writers have always been of special importance in Festival programming, ensuring that this city’s best share the stage with greats from around the world.
