  • Provide professional development, support, community, and employment opportunities to Quebec-based English-language writers at appropriate stages of their careers;
  • Raise the profile of QWF members who are emerging or established writers through annual literary awards, a writing residency, two online publications, and a travel fund;
  • Increase access to literary activities for underserved communities through our Writers in the Community program;
  • Increase public interaction with the literary arts through public readings, literary dinners and teas, and an annual holiday book fair (in partnership with the AELAQ);
  • Facilitate contact between qualified writers and members of the community through our online Hire-a-Writer directory;
  • Encourage dialogue and collaboration between Quebec’s English- and French-speaking literary communities;
  • Create mutually supportive partnerships with literary presenters across the province and with other national, provincial and municipal arts organizations.
  • Communicate with all levels of government on behalf of our constituency.
