of Northern BC.

A community of writers based in beautiful Northern British Columbia.

We are storytellers
of the north.

Founded in Prince George, the Northern BC Writers Association brings together poets, novelists, journalists, and emerging voices who call this rugged region home.

We believe the landscapes of Northern BC — its rivers, forests, mountains, and small-town histories — deserve to be written into the Canadian literary canon.
