About

Wordstock Sudbury Literary Festival is an intimate two-day celebration of the literary arts. The festival features some of Canada’s most celebrated authors, poets, playwrights, and songwriters. Wordstock Sudbury creates opportunities for vital conversations that challenge assumptions, explore diverse perspectives, and use critical thinking—all through a literary lens. Established in 2013 to support and promote the love of reading and writing in Northern Ontario, it continues to grow.

Our 2026 Festival Planning Committee, made up of wonderful volunteers from our community, helped shape the festival’s vision, theme, and overall direction, while working with our Board of Directors and the 2026 Festival Organizer throughout the planning process. We are so grateful for the time and care they gave to this year’s festival.
