Tickets to Northwestern Ontario Writer’s Workshop (NOWW) are on sale for the many events involved in LitFest 2024 taking place in Thunder Bay, on May 10-11th, 2024.

“It’s a busy weekend,” says NOWW president, Heather Dickson. “We have two book signings, two interactive writers’ salons, a public reading, a book fair/literary market, and a gala dinner! It’s a bit of a new twist on our usual format, and there’s already an incredible buzz! We’re all very excited to see how it rolls out!”

The guest author for the weekend is international best-selling author, Guy Gavriel Kay. Kay has written 16 novels, including A Brightness Long Ago, Children of Earth and Sky, and the recent All the Seas of the World. He also worked with J.R.R. Tolkien’s son, Christopher, to bring the legendary work, The Silmarillion, to light posthumously.
