Nurturing young writers and celebrating ideas from diverse new voices, the Emerging Writers’ Festival’s (EWF) 2020 program has been moved entirely online in response to COVID-19. Even the program launch was digital this year, hosted online via the Wheeler Centre.
The festival’s eight-day program runs from 16-23 June and features performances, professional development opportunities and digital programming. From the National Writers’ Conference to in-depth explorations of class, race, and gender via a choose your own adventure game on Twitter, this year’s EWF promises to magnify important dialogues.
