Welcome to Calgary's genre fiction writing group.

Who We Are

The Imaginative Fiction Writers Association ("IFWA") was founded in 1988 to help imaginative fiction writers hone their skills and expand their knowledge base. To this end, IFWA engages in many activities including critiquing written work, providing marketing advice, suggesting writing games and exercises, and notifying members about interesting events, contests and writing opportunities, amongst other things. We are a writing group, not a book club.

We have members (collectively known as "IFWits") at all stages of development, including beginners, those trying to break into the market, and published and award winning authors. The group also counts many small publishers and well-known authors as friends.

So what is "imaginative fiction"? The current focus of the group is predominantly the speculative genres of fantasy, science fiction and horror, but we are open to all genres.

IFWA meets once a month and hosts/participates in many special events.

IFWA is a registered non-profit society with bylaws and an elected Board. An Annual General Meeting is held at each October meeting.

Membership is $20.00 per year and can be paid at a monthly meeting.
