about EMLF

Elephant Mountain Literary Festival (EMLF) is a project of the Kootenay Literary Society (KLS), a registered non-profit that was founded in 2011 by a group of literary movers and shakers in the Nelson area. Along with EMLF, the KLS brings authors into local schools and partners with other organizations on literary happenings throughout the year.
