The Winnipeg International Writers Festival . The program has been part of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival since the beginning.
Students see and hear first-hand about the forces that drive authors to write.
They also get a glimpse into the writing life with all its demands, frustrations, discipline and satisfactions as the author connects with readers in sharing his or her unique view of the world. For some young fledgeling writers this can be a pivotal moment, lighting a fire under future ambitions. The Words Rule in School program is now in its fourth year. Educators have been eager to involve their students in this dynamic event. Many booked their spots by the end of June, 2000.
