  • An end-of-day panel with our 3 workshop providers to discuss current issues in writing and publishing
  • Our fan-favourite 1st-page “Slush Pile” contest
  • A Saturday evening full of literary fun, including an open mic. (This is a free event where attendees can share work with the broader Penticton community.) Hosted by Andrew Buckley.
