WELLINGTON COUNTY, ON – After a successful 2022 event, Wellington County looks forward to hosting the second annual Writers’ Festival on June 10, 2023.
“While the inaugural event focused on Wellington County writers or subject matter, we’re excited to expand the event this year and welcome writers from our surrounding communities, commented Wellington Place Administrator, Jana Burns. “We want to celebrate all types of writing and introduce the public to emerging and established authors from the region.”
“The Wellington County Museum and Archives has long been a gathering place for the community to celebrate our stories in Wellington County,” said Mary Lloyd, Wellington County Information, Heritage and Seniors Committee Chair. “I am excited that the WCMA, in partnership with Wellington County Library, is welcoming writers from the County and our neighbouring municipalities to share their stories and inspire creativity.”
The 2023 Wellington County Writers’ Festival will be a celebration of writers from Wellington, Dufferin, Grey, Huron, and Perth Counties, as well as the City of Guelph and the Region of Waterloo. Writers from these communities are encouraged to apply to take part - applications open on February 1 and will be accepted until February 24, 2023.
The 2023 Writers’ Festival will take place at the Wellington County Museum and Archives on Saturday, June 10, from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.
