Quebec Writers' Federation Details
The Quebec Writers' Federation (QWF) is playing an increasingly prominent role in the life of the Quebec English-language literary community as an arts presenter and professional and community educator, as well as the representative of Quebec's English-language writers. The diversity of its activities reflects the diversity of its membership. Along with professional and emerging writers, the QWF includes those who have a personal interest in writing and many who have joined because they are interested in high quality literary events, activities and programs. All of these constituents are linked by the QWF vision that works toward ensuring a lasting place for English literature and its practitioners on the Quebec cultural scene. QWF is a registered charity (14031 9518 RR 0001) with the following legal purposes: To provide tangible community support for the promotion and encouragement of English language literary arts within the province; To recognize the achievements of Quebec's English language writers through the establishment of annual literary awards; To undertake activities which will increase public awareness of the literary arts and of literary institutions within the province; To apply for, raise and receive grants, bequests, legacies and devices and to hold, administer, invest, expand or deal with the same in furtherance with the purposes of the Society.
