We’re Also Still Accepting Raffle & Prize Donations!
Businesses who would like to contribute a raffle prize, giveaway item, or swag bag item can still get involved! In return, we’ll show our appreciation with social media shout-outs and recognition.
But right now, our biggest push is to find the three businesses or organizations ready to step into one of our final sponsorship roles and help us reach our fundraising goal. This festival is about more than books. It’s about supporting Canadian authors, small businesses, entrepreneurs, creativity, and the growing literary community in New Brunswick and beyond.
If your business would like to become part of the 2026 Writers of the Realm Literary Festival, we would love to talk! Send us a message or email [email protected] for sponsorship information.
