Two of the Master Classes are led by 2011 Governor General Award Winners. Presented with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
The Festival is the ideal place to meet our favourite authors, but it is also a chance to improve one’s writing by signing up for workshops that are open to all.

One of Blue Met’s most popular regular events, Master Classes bring together established and emerging writers in all genres with professional and emerging student writers who wish to improve their writing and discuss publishing issues. The Master Classes offer a unique opportunity to learn from a published author in a small setting where the discussions can often take on a life of their own.
