A conversation on AI and the arts matters, and so does how we hold it. We’ve decided not to move forward with the “Dear AI” workshop at this year’s festival. Thank you for being a part of the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival community and offering your feedback. More info to come.

In a first for the festival's stories history, EMWF will welcome Aiden Cinnamon Tea, an artificial intelligence author whose work invites readers to relate to AI not as a tool, but as a partner in the act of meaning-making. Check out the full event information on our website !

Announcing the line up for our Emerge! Panel, on Festival Sunday. Come hear these amazing University of Guelph Creative Writing MFA students as they share their work with the world.

Meet our Artistic Director: Kali Pearson, a writer, reader, editor and maker. Discover her full welcome, and her celebration of the messy and brilliant glory of art and ideas, in our latest newsletter. Link in bio.

Save the Date! EMWF Returns this September 5-7, 2025 The Eden Mills Writers’ Festival has always been a place where words go to breathe. This year, we return to that ethos—slow, deliberate, and deeply communal. We're inviting you to make a plan to slow down with us, riverside.

Despite the blustery weather, I had a lovely time reading from SISTERS OF THE SPRUCE at the Eden Mills Writers' Festival yesterday! @emwf @caitlinpress @TRFNews
