WFNB Programs

WordSpring

Our annual weekend festival of professional development workshops, readings, the NB Writing Competition Literary Soirée, and the New Brunswick Book Awards live ceremony. It is held in late spring in one of the three major cities of New Brunswick, attracting participants from the Maritimes and beyond.

WordsFall

Our outreach program of workshops and readings has grown from a few workshops to a full weekend conference that acts as a cozier and more laid back version of WordSpring and moves through smaller NB communities, developing connections with the places from which we grow and derive inspiration.
