This is an eclectic little list of links related to writing and the NWT. In alphabetical order . . .

Anita Daher
Website of my friend, young adults’ author Anita Daher. Her books are 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.

Borealis Press
The Ottawa company that will publish my book, The Ugly Truck and Dog Contest and Other Tales of Northern Life, in spring 2009. Stop by and check out their other great Canadian titles!

Canadian Authors Association
A national association for writers at all levels of development.

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.

NorthWords Writers Festival
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.

Sage Hill Writing Experience
A writers’ organization in Saskatchewan. In 2004 I spent a wonderful 10 days in the Qu’Appelle Valley at Sage Hill’s Summer Experience.
