NATIONAL CAPITAL LETTERS (http://capletters.ncf.ca) is a site dedicated to Ottawa’s rich literary history and to the promotion of the city’s current vibrant scene. Our quarterly installments will showcase Ottawa’s writers, readers and literary venues, as well as provide a point of intersection for local literary activism, events, communication and commemoration.

Our first issue features over a dozen articles including items on the Ottawa International Writers Festival, Janet Lunn, the Ottawa Literary Club of 1870, an anthology launched in support of the Kids Help Phone, and much more.

The editors welcome submissions of articles, interviews, book reviews, literary manifestos, and any discourse on writers or literary events related to Ottawa. We also welcome feedback at ottawaliterary@yahoo.ca or capletters@ncf.ca.
