what is THIN AIR?
In September each year, Winnipeg welcomes writers from Canada and around the world for a week of readings, lectures, interviews, conversations, book launches, and other events.
That week of literary feasting—which reaches out into the rural areas of the province as well—is THIN AIR, the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. With programming for adults and children, in English and French, THIN AIR is an infusion of energy into the thriving literary culture of this city.

Chaque année au mois de septembre, Winnipeg ouvre son cœur culturel et artistique pour accueillir des écrivains d’ici et d’ailleurs. C’est une semaine de lectures, d’entrevues, de lancements de livres et de bonnes conversations.
Ce buffet de littérature s’appelle THIN AIR, Winnipeg International Writers Festival. Le FOYER DES ÉCRIVAINS est la composante francophone du festival THIN AIR.

Monday's Quote on the Craft of Fiction
"The first draft I write will be complete crap. I give myself the permission to scrap it. I just need to get out the thought, the idea."

Thursday's Quote on the Craft of Writing
The artist, assuming the writer is an artist, has to see things differently. What the writer has to do when he looks at a landscape, say there's a tree, a house, a lamp post, he has to rearrange it to bring out the scene more forcefully. The writer is not a cameraman. He can rearrange what is before him and bring out what he wants to convey.

Friday's Quote on the Craft of Writing
Roo Borson on how her essays and poems develop:
"It's almost like working with strips of newspaper headlines, but with content I've come up with. I find myself piecing them together, rearranging and moving them around until something comes of it, until something resonates."
