In September each year, Winnipeg welcomes writers from Canada and around the world for a week of readings, lectures, interviews, conversations, book launches, and other events. That week of literary feasting—which reaches out into the rural areas of the province as well—is THIN AIR, the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. With programming for adults and children, in English and French, THIN AIR is an infusion of energy into the thriving literary culture of this city.

 

Our programming spills over into the off-season as well, allowing us to showcase special writers and performances at Winnipeg venues throughout the year. Watch for postings on our news page...

 

Chaque année au mois de septembre, Winnipeg ouvre son cœur culturel et artistique pour accueillir des écrivains d’ici et d’ailleurs. C’est une semaine de lectures, d’entrevues, de lancements de livres et de bonnes conversations. Ce buffet de littérature s’appelle THIN AIR, Winnipeg International Writers Festival. Le FOYER DES ÉCRIVAINS est la composante francophone du festival THIN AIR.

 

Il y comprend des programmations pour adultes et pour enfants, en anglais et en français. THIN AIR, c’est une infusion d’énergie littéraire!
