Wired Writing

Onsite and online — a vibrant community of literary writers

Welcome to the web page for the Wired Writing Studio. When the program is in session, this is the place to access discussion forum and current readings.

The Banff Centre’s Wired Writing Studio offers a unique context for poets and fiction and other narrative prose writers to pursue their own artistic visions and voices. Intended specifically for those producing work of literary merit who are at an early stage in their careers, it offers an extended period of writing time (two weeks in Banff and 20 weeks online), one-on-one editorial assistance from experienced writers/editors, and an opportunity for involvement with a community of working writers.
