The Creative Nonfiction Collective is a national organization for Canadian authors of literary nonfiction. Since 2004, we have gathered annually in Banff for an inspiring weekend of lectures, discussions and readings related to creative nonfiction. In 2009, we inaugurated our annual Readers’ Choice Awards to celebrate the most memorable nonfiction works of Canadian authors. Throughout the year, our 100+ members continue to debate ideas and exchange news links via a popular email forum.
Behind the scenes, our executive board lobbies to increase the recognition of creative nonfiction as a form of literature amongst awards juries, news media, publishers, booksellers and the reading public. You can learn more about the CNFC’s history, our raison d’etre, and our official mandate.
Please join the CNFC in our online discussions, our annual get-together and our long-term goal to promote creative nonfiction from coast to coast to coast.
