The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and the University of Saskatchewan’s MFA in Writing Program are pleased to present Writing North 15: Coming Home.
Our 2025 festival will be held in person at St Andrew’s College (1121 College Dr) in Saskatoon (with some of the events live-streamed and recorded) and is open to the public free of charge. All events will be held in the Main Lounge at St Andrew’s College in Saskatoon. Livestreamed events will be available via Zoom and on our YouTube channel for 30 days post-festival. Join us for workshops and a panel exploring our theme of “coming home” and a feature talk by award-winning writer Jane Urquhart.
