When Words Collide (www.whenwordscollide.org) is an annual literary festival held in Calgary, Alberta. The festival aims to bring together the literary community, both readers and writers, in Calgary and beyond, for a sharing of information, for learning, and to build a sense of community. As part of its mandate to include broad and diverse fields of writing, When Words Collide is hosting an academic colloquium on August 10, 2013. We welcome presentations that explore creative writing pedagogy, genre writing in academic settings, and critical investigations of genre works, including mystery, science fiction, romance, western, horror, fantasy, young adult, and others.
