Alexandre "Sacha" Trudeau and Maureen Jennings will be two of the featured authors at this year's Eden Mills Writers Festival.

The event takes place Sept. 15 to 19.

Trudeau, the brother of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is a filmmaker, journalist and traveller who will be reading from his non-fiction book Barbarian Lost.

Jennings wrote the seven Murdoch Mysteries novels that the popular CBC series of the same name is based on.

A full list of authors scheduled to appear can be found on the festival web site.

A schedule of the authors will be announced in August.

"Once again we are assembling an eclectic and diversified group of critically acclaimed authors and literary prize winners representing a range of literary genres from literary fiction, poetry and non-fiction to memoirs and thrillers," the festival website says.

"With adult, teen and children’s programming, the festival will offer entertaining and thought-provoking programming for all ages. The Festival will also feature The Guelph Poetry Slam Team delivering their high energy performances."
