little list of links related to writing and the NWT. In alphabetical
order . . .
Anita Daher

fun, full of adventure . . . and set in the North. Anita knows whereof
she speaks - she has a solid northern pedigree, having lived in the
NWT, Nunavut and northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

and Dog Contest and Other Tales of Northern Life, in spring 2009. Stop by and check out their other great Canadian titles!

City of
Yellowknife
City Hall’s website. Click on the
Visitors link for info about Yellowknife. Includes a nifty little
video!
Crime Writers of Canada
Information
about the Canadian crime and mystery writing scene. I recommend a CWC
membership for writers of all stripes - an article in one of the
newsletters provided helpful advice for setting up author websites . .
. like this one.
Government of the Northwest Territories
Website for the territorial government. Pop quiz: what’s consensus
government? How many federal, provincial or territorial governments in
Canada operate under the consensus system? Check the website for the
answer.

A festival for writers and readers that has been running in
Yellowknife since 2006. I was on the original organizing committee and
set up the website.

10 days in the Qu’Appelle Valley at Sage Hill’s Summer Experience.
