AfterWords is for everyone.

Join us for our sixth annual festival, hosted in venues across Halifax from November 2 to 10, 2024.​

More than 50 writers, artists, and educators will connect with readers and writers of all ages in Halifax.

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.

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.
