The Arts Station

With Special Pre-Conference Workshops

The Fernie Writers Conference brings award-winning established writers to work with writers
of all levels in an intensive workshop setting. By encouraging positive critique
of work–both in-progress and new–writers sharpen and refine their craft over the course of the Conference.

While centered around the workshops, the featured panel discussions, evening presentations
and social events surrounding the conference create lasting and fruitful relationships.
Editors, publishers and writers mingle over meals, in the receptions and during the public readings.
