About WFNS
The Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia (WFNS) is a registered not-for-profit organization, with official charitable status, that exists only through the support provided by government partners, member dues, and generous donations. Along with our gratitude, donors of $10 or more receive a charitable tax receipt for the value of their gift, mailed to the address provided at checkout.
WFNS is an arts service organization founded on a collaborative philosophy: writers helping writers. This philosophy informs a complete cycle of development programming (such as creative writing workshops and professional development sessions) and a wide array of professional services that support the craft of writing, the business of being a writer, and the promotion of Nova Scotia writers as integral to the province’s cultural life and creative economy. WFNS has approximately 700 members, at all career stages, for whom we coordinate special projects & events and administer invaluable ongoing programs & awards.
