Meet the 2024 Imaginairists:
Explore the Festival’s 50+ Star Authors

Wordfest’s fall Imaginairium festival is back Oct. 15-21, showcasing this year’s most exceptional authors and artists. We’ve gathered the best of the best so that you can think bigger, dig deeper, and connect even more meaningfully with each other. Check out their author pages below, which include links to the shows they will be appearing at during the festival. You can also learn more about their books, which can be pre-ordered now through Owl’s Nest Books or onsite at our pop-up bookstores. You will also find direct links to place holds at the Calgary Public Library, Wordfest’s founding partner, or get the audio version from Libro.fm, our new independent audio partner.
