Welcome to the opening night of INFUSION YA Book Festival!
A special night where we celebrate YOU (and one of our favourite winter
drinks). Yes you! You the reader, the audience member, the writer, and so
much more. A chance for all our guests/attendees to kick back, relax, and
connect with one another.
We will finish off with a specially curated panel we are presenting in
partnership with the amazing BC & Yukon Book Prize team: “We’re All In This
Together”. The noise has been made, and we are (slowly) being heard; BUT, are we showing up?

2021 Rewind!
It's Rewind time! And no, we don't mean the YouTube Rewind. We're talking
about going through the year that has been 2021 and its impact on our
creativity. In our first panel of the day we'll be going through the writing
journey our incredible panelists, moderator, and YOU have gone thorugh this
year. The ups and downs; the joy found in creativity; what kept them writing
and their insider tips and tricks.

The Magic of Us
A very special panel for us to be hosting. In our next panel of the day we'll be
celebrating, celebrating our most authentic selves, celebrating how far we've
come. We will be discussing how much it means, for our panelists and
moderator (and those in the audience), to be the ones behind the stories that
make so many of us feel seen and heard. We will be talking about how joy in
its truest self is a form of resistance. And most importantly we will be
discussing what they, and we, hope to se the future bring for them and
so many others!

we guess to find out the title of their work! Get your markers, paper, and let's
