Join us at the Collingwood Public Library for a weekend of local storytelling. Enjoy presentations and discussions on a variety of themes, including character development, book marketing, graphic novels, fanfiction and much more at CollingWord 2025.

CollingWord is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates the literary achievements of local authors from the South Georgian Bay Writers’ Connection (SGBWC) while promoting literary development among youth.

We believe that the power of words can ignite change and inspire confidence in both youth and our community. By partnering with local businesses, non-profits, and other community organizations, we can collectively cultivate a vibrant literary community that nurtures creativity and empowers the next generation of storytellers
