“The new guard of CanLit has arrived, and it is young, diverse, wired—and passionately political.”—The Toronto Star

Growing Room Feminist Literary Festival hosts more than 50 events with boundary-defying talent, from March 8 to 17, 2019. Offerings include workshops and manuscript consultations, panels and readings with award-winning authors, with a focus on art as inspiration, comedy and feminist humour, futurisms, podcasting, inclusive storytelling and survival in the face of systemic abuse.
