A vibrant and inclusive community organization that develops, supports, and promotes those writing in English in Quebec. The Quebec Writers' Federation provides English-language programs, services, opportunities, and community for aspiring, emerging, and established writers and the wider community. Our goals are to:

• Provide professional development, support, community, and employment opportunities to Quebec-based English-language writers at appropriate stages of their careers;
• Raise the profile of QWF members who are emerging or established writers through annual literary awards, a writing residency, two online publications, and ongoing promotional opportunities;
• Increase access to literary activities for underserved communities through our Writers in the Community program;
- Increase public interaction with the literary arts through public readings, literary dinners and teas, and an annual holiday book fair (in partnership with the AELAQ);
• Facilitate contact between qualified writers and members of the community through our online Hire-a-Writer directory;
• Encourage dialogue and collaboration between Quebec’s English- and French-speaking literary communities;
• Create mutually supportive partnerships with literary presenters across the province and with other national, provincial and municipal arts organizations.
• Communicate with all levels of government on behalf of our constituency.
