I must say that WWC is my favourite convention these days. The multi-genre
programming has lead to a lot of cross-pollination that is just wonderful.
E.g., my favourite panel last year was one given by the Director of The
Alberta Playwrights Network on playwriting...so many suggestions for
staging and structure that went straight into my novel writing. So highly
recommended.Blog posts from attendees at the 2013 When Words Collide festival:

"I'm definitely planning on attending after hearing
so many rave reviews about the 2011 event."
-Alison Lohans (YA/children's author)

"I think I speak for everyone who was there — that was an outstanding
convention and very worthy of SFC support.
I will be there next year, for sure."

"I found When Words Collide to be a very good networking opportunity.
Unbeknownst to me, a person attending my reading at the festival last year
was an editor for a Canadian publisher, and immediately after my reading he
approached me about putting together a collection of my short fiction. Long
story short: my collection, Immunity to Strange Tales will be launched
at When Words Collide this summer by Five Rivers Chapmanry Press!"
