Writer-in-Schools Program


The Federation of BC Writers has over 600 members, many of whom are available and interested in sharing their talent and experience with students around the province.
Every year, as part of our Off The Page Writer-in-Schools Program, the Federation arranges for and subsidizes author visits to the province's public schools to inform and inspire students and teachers about the world of writing and publishing.

Twenty-nine professional writers from all over the province are involved in the 2010 program. OTP participants are paid a $200 fee for their in-school readings, presentations or workshops. This program is funded by the Direct Access program and the Federation of BC Writers.

To find out more about the writers participating in the 2010 Off The Page program, click the writer's name on the left.

School-Funded Readings, Presentations & Workshops

Educators and librarians are encouraged to contact the Federation for consideration of school-funded presentations. We can assist in teaming your school or classroom with a local writer or provide you with the contact information for any one of the writers listed at the left.
