What Madeline Sonik had to say
Today I gave my students a summary of the weekend and told them if they’re thinking of one writing festival to attend next year, make it Whistler’s.
What Nancy Lee had to say
The festival was amazing — the events, the coordination, the venues, and most importantly, the connection between the visiting writers and the participating writers — made for a fantastic experience for everyone involved. The level of professionalism, communication and regard for the visiting writers was the highest we’ve experienced at any out-of-town festival — and that includes ones we’ve done in the UK and Paris!
What Brian Brett had to say
Writers’ festivals and writer-in-residence programs are absolutely essential for keeping Canadians connected, reviving writers and their audiences, and for fostering local culture and identity.
What Peter Zuckerman said
Thank you for having me. The organizers did a phenomenal job, and I would come back and recommend the festival to my writing friends and family. As someone who has gone to a lot of these kinds of things, I can say that this one is among the best!
