THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING SPRING SEASON!

Our Fall Season begins in September, with the 2010 Fall Edition running from October 20th to the 26th. Pre-Festival highlights include Jane Urquhart, David Suzuki, Margaret Macmillan, Tim Cook, Joseph Boyden and John Ralston Saul. Tickets for David Suzuki on September 27th are available now and other events will be announced soon.

The Festival has found a new main venue: the Mayfair Theatre in Old Ottawa South (1074 Bank Street at Sunnyside). We feel like we've found a great new home for the Festival moving forward for years to come! In the Fall, we'll be adding the Sunnyside OPL and Southminister United Church as venues.

Tickets for upcoming events are available here. Tickets are also available over the phone at 613.562.1243 or in person from Nicholas Hoare, Collected Works and Octopus Books. We'll be updating the events page on a regular basis, so visit us again soon!

Books are available at all our events with proceeds supporting the Festival's programming and our free Step Into Stories and Think Ink youth programs. The Ottawa International Writers Festival is a registered charity. Your tax-refundable donations support our children's literacy programs, community outreach and our year-round programming. The 2010/2011 Membership season begins September 1st, 2010. Click here for details.

The Ottawa International Writers Festival is held at the Mayfair Theatre in Old Ottawa South. Selected events are held at other venues: check the event descriptions to confirm location.
