SUMMARY:Victoria Festival of Authors
DESCRIPTION:Since 2016\, Victoria Festival of Authors (VFA) has been the largest celebration of books and book lovers on Vancouver Island. Each fall we invite authors from our region and beyond to share their books and ideas with Victoria’s readers. We showcase established and emerging poets\, prose writers\, and other storytellers\, with artistic achievement\, creative innovation and a diversity of voices driving our mandate. Our traditional five-day festival includes author readings\, discussion panels and workshops. Since 2021\, VFA has been a hybrid festival\, with in-person and virtual-only events. Most of our in-person events are livestreamed\, with recordings available on VFA’s YouTube channel. \nThis year VFA is focused on accessibility and inclusion; we are addressing all barriers to participation\, including financial barriers. As such\, tickets for all virtual events and most in-person events will have sliding-scale pricing\, with a “no fee” option. All events will be captioned\, with ASL translation upon request.
