We know that wonderful feeling you experience in the Heritage Theatre, the sense that we are all part of something special, the goodwill, the excitement, the shared love of stories and songs.

Our hosts set that tone —not just for the audience, but for the authors and musicians on stage—creating an atmosphere of warmth, connection, and joy.

It’s the kind of call we love to receive - a music agent from the far away West Coast, asking us if we were interested in booking Noah Guthrie for our festival. They didn’t have to wait long for us to answer.

Today we unveil the rest of our stellar authors’ line up for Writers at Woody Point 2025!

Throughout the history of Writers at Woody Point, we have been privileged to host renowned authors from outside Canada – beginning with Louis de Bernieres way back in Year Two.

We are thrilled that two of our favourites have agreed to make the long trek to Western Newfoundland to be part of our 22nd festival this summer: Ann Patchett and Kevin Barry.

A few years back – actually more than a few – we had an idea.
What would happen if we paired the face and voice of one of our country’s all-time favourite bands with three of our friends who just happen to be the finest harmony singers around? What would that sound like?

Join us in welcoming Olivia Ball as our Community Engagement and Outreach Coordinator!
