Events Description

 
gritLIT is an intimate festival that lets you get up close with your favourite authors (and discover new voices, too).

Hamilton’s Readers and Writers Festival was launched in 2004. Since then, gritLIT has brought over 400 of the best writers in Canada to Hamilton for readings, writing workshops, panel discussions, interviews and events for youth and children.

Readings, Panels and Interviews offer a view into the minds of some of the most interesting writers working in Canada today. Attendees will have a chance to interact with authors via chat and/or Q&A in these events.

Interactive Events give attendees an opportunity to interact with fellow book lovers in fun, immersive ways.

Writing Workshops (Limited Enrollment) offer a chance to learn the tricks of the trade from some of the best authors in the country. Writing Workshops are 75–90 minutes long.
