Order a hanging basket and help us to continue to provide writers in all genres the opportunity to hone their craft. Pick up your basket in Port Coquitlam on May 9th – just in time for Mother’s Day! The proceeds of your order will go directly toward the operating costs of 2026 Surrey International Writers’ Conference.

➡️ Find out more and order your basket here.

Help support our programs by donating your refundable bottles and cans! Simply drop off your empties, and we’ll turn them into funds that help us nurture storytellers of every background. Your recyclables go a long way in empowering writers to grow their skills and share their voices with confidence.

Every bottle counts—thank you for making a difference!

We were heartbroken to have to cancel SiWC2025 due to an unresolved labour dispute at our conference hotel, and as a result, a large amount of the money invested in SiWC2025 could not be recovered.

Please consider supporting our Go Fund Me by:

  • sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, colleagues, and social media networks; and
  • supporting SiWC with a donation today.
