The & Festival 2024
October 4 @ 12:00 pm - October 5 @ 5:00 pm EDT
Free – $30
The & Festival is an annual celebration of creative writing and publishing, hosted by The Ampersand Review and the Honours Bachelor of Creative Writing & Publishing at Sheridan College. The festival aims to bring together the writing and publishing communities in Canada through the & Books Market (free to attend!), an inspiring keynote from poet and novelist Canisia Lubrin, a series of insightful panels on craft and the industry, and the & Soirée to announce the winner of The Ampersand Review‘s second annual Essay Contest.
The & Festival focuses on the interwoven nature of writing and publishing, demonstrating that the two go hand-in-hand and should be approached together. Each of our panels will bring together writers and publishing professionals to offer perspectives from across the industry.
The & Festival will be held in-person at the Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus, 4180 Duke of York Boulevard Mississauga, ON.
