The Jonas Saul keynote is available for those staying safe at home (don't think of it as stuck). The first three keynotes were full of hope. Jonas offers a different kind of encouragement: how to deal with the unescapable adversity that comes with a writing career. http://whenwordscollide.libsyn.com/2019-009-jonas-saul-keynote

While we have our fingers crossed for August and WWC ver 10, let Calgary author Leanne Shirtliffe divert you for a few moments in our latest podcast, part three of our 2019 Keynotes. Leanne talks about the meaning of life, Toni Morrison, Quentin Tarantino, Samuel L. Jackson and Tennyson. What could be more diverse (and diversionary)? http://whenwordscollide.libsyn.com/2019-008-leanne-shirtliffe-keynote

Those of you staying home and keeping your distance are superheroes. In recognition of your efforts, we are pleased to present James Alan Gardner, part two of the 2019 WWC Keynotes for your self-isolating listening pleasure. http://whenwordscollide.libsyn.com/2019-007-james-alan-gardner-keynote

If you're social-distancing, self-isolating or otherwise feeling cut off from your contacts in the reading/writing community, might we suggest a few minutes with 2019 Festival Guest Lisa Mangum? Listen in as Lisa talks reading, writing, editing, paper clips and Lamborghinis in her festival keynote. Enjoy! http://whenwordscollide.libsyn.com/2019-006-lisa-mangum-keynote

On March 11th, the World Health Organization (WHO) categorized the coronavirus illness as a pandemic. As a result, many events in upcoming weeks are being canceled. At this time, the organizers of the When Words Collide Festival are optimistic that this epidemic will be under control well before August, and that our event will proceed as planned. Should the situation change, we will let you know. Be assured, however, that we have processes and finances in place to weather a cancellation or postponement should one be needed. In the mean time, we encourage everyone to take precautions for their own health and the health of others.
