Summer Literary Seminars Montreal

In existence since 1998, the Summer Literary Seminars (SLS) wholly innovative and unique, multidimensional undertaking continues to grow and expand. SLS, over the years, has established itself as one of the largest and most dynamic literary programs in the world. Now, having circumnavigated the globe a few times over, establishing its permanent presence in Europe and Africa, SLS has anchored itself in North America at its home base of Concordia University in Montreal: North America's portal to Europe, and one of the continent's liveliest, most offbeat and beautiful cities. While we continue to fulfill our mandate of continually creating and recreating this movable cultural platform upon which the North American literary community and the international writing scene can come together, we want to invite everyone to come and visit with us in Montreal. Over the years, hundreds upon hundreds of writers and poets from every corner of North America, Europe, and Africa have passed through the SLS seminars led by many dozens of leading North American and international people of letters. Many SLS graduates subsequently have gone on to publish their work to critical acclaim. Now we hope that some of our past participants and faculty will come to our home, to be reunited here with their old SLS friends. For many years, we have been casting away the stones of this ambitious literary pursuit. We are still casting them away: such is the nature of the entire SLS undertaking. But SLS Montreal, to a certain extent, is our "gathering the stones" project. We hope to see you here. Meeting place: Montreal.
