Welcome to the
Federation of British Columbia Writers!

The Federation of BC Writers is one of the largest writers associations in Canada with over 650 current members. The Federation is the voice of writers in BC—supporting, developing, informing and promoting writers while fostering a community for writing throughout the province. Along with established and emerging writers, the Federation of BC Writers includes those who have an interest in the works of our talented authors and in the resources and programs we offer.

We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about the Federation of BC Writers; the benefits of joining; our programs, services and resources; our WordWorks journal; and other aspects of our association. In our Market section, you'll find an up-to-date calendar of literary events, awards & prizes and contests along with links to grants, publishers and literary journals. 

To keep on top of our new initiatives—and to receive timely industry news, author events, contests & market listings and much more—subscribe to Federation Vox, our electronic newsletter. Subscriptions to the Vox e-newsletter are free and membership in the Federation of BC Writers is not required. Contact the Federation office at 604.683.2057 or email bcwriters@shaw.ca to add your email address to our growing list of Vox devotees.

The Federation of British Columbia Writers operates with funds raised from membership dues, fundraising activities, corporate and private sponsorship, and with the support of the Province of British Columbia through the BC Arts Council and the Direct Access Program, which the Federation gratefully acknowledges.
