Elephant Mountain Literary Festival- Nelson B.C.

Stretching along a magnificent expanse of lakeshore, steep evergreen valleys and glacial snowfields in British Columbia, Canada, the Nelson Kootenay Lake region is a destination unlike any other, anywhere.

This is a calm, wondrous part of the world, quietly famous for its trademark mix of culture, adventure, history and undeniably authentic personality. The region's true colours range from blue collar to tie-dyed.

In lots of ways, it's a truly super, natural place...

This year’s theme of the Elephant Mountain Literary Festival (EMLF) is Paths to the Page: Writing the Map. Join a host of internationally celebrated authors and a selection of Canadian publishers in Nelson, British Columbia, this July as we discuss how authors and publishers ultimately arrive at what appears on the page. What influences the route a writer uses to the page? What paths in the ever-changing publishing industry affect what writers write and readers read? Join us as we explore the many aspects of the Paths to the Page in our events, panels, and readings.
