Note that passes are necessary for attending the author conversations and presentations. However, events marked as free on the schedule do not require passes, while masterclasses require separate registration.

Masterclasses: Elevate Your Creative Writing

For those with a mind to sharpen their storytelling chops, TIFA’s Creative Writing Masterclasses offer unique, hands-on sessions led by acclaimed authors and industry professionals. Each is a 90-minute deep-dive into crafting compelling narratives and breathing life into characters, suitable for all skill levels.

These workshops are presented in collaboration with The Humber School for Writers and require separate registration. For those planning to participate, this is an excellent opportunity to gain invaluable insight into literary craftsmanship.
