• We are going to resume our meetings using Zoom.us online. See details on our Schedule page.

• Conference Cancellation: This virus is giving us no choice but to cancel the 2020 Flathead River Writers Conference. But we are planning for 2021 right now.

• Student Writing Contest Glitch: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Online Form used by students to submit their short stories and poems to the Authors of the Flathead Writing Contest failed! We have confirmed that there were instances in which students submitted their application and it did not go through. For that, we apologize to all schools and students. In light of that issue and with the current Montana wide school closures, we have decided to extend the deadline for the writing contest.

• BIFF postponed. The Bigfork Independent Film Festival has been rescheduled for Oct 2-4, 2020.

• Our Annual Student Writing Contest is gearing up. Get the details here
