- AfterWords Literary Festival
- AfterWords is for everyone.
- Every year, the AfterWords Literary Festival celebrates local literary talent and brings writers from across the country—and beyond—to Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Join us for readings, discussions, and workshops to learn more about the craft behind writing and connect with fellow book lovers!
AfterWords is a registered charity.
Help us build an equitable society where citizens are equipped with the tools and the passion to read, write, and tell stories, are empowered to consider other points of view, and where the work of artists is respected as a necessary pillar of democracy.
Volunteer with AfterWords
We couldn't host the festival without the support of our volunteers. Help us build our community, celebrate creativity, and showcase diverse perspectives! If you'd like to be part of the team, please fill out our volunteer intake form, and we'll be in touch soon.
