Controversy @ Noon Series
Is there a pressing literary topic you want to hear more about? How about the banning of books? Ageism in the publishing industry? The ever-looming presence of AI?
In an effort to reframe collaboration efforts with our membership and offer programming based on local writers’ immediate needs, the WGA is excited to announce that our Controversy @ Noon series will take place monthly for the duration of 2024.
Controversy @ Noon aims to address the interests and concerns of our membership and the Alberta writing community, while fostering a fresh collaboration dynamic and providing stimulating discussion, straightforward facts, and clear calls for action — without having to wait for our next annual conference or festival panel. Local authors, literary professionals, and experts will be given the chance to explore a number of important current topics.
You, the members, get to decide what the Controversy @ Noon series covers and where it ultimately goes, so please send panel suggestions to Ashley Mann at [email protected]
The WGA sincerely thanks the Rozsa Foundation for supporting Controversy @ Noon in 2024.
