What is Scriven?

Scriven is an archaic word meaning "to put into writing". A scribe is also a scrivener. The scribe scrives, scrived, or has scriven. Just because something is old, does not mean it is without value or interest. Long live the archaic words!

Scriven is an annual Montreal Pen show promoting interest in writing and communication and creativity.

Special features include:
  • fountain pens (old & new & handcrafted)
  • stationary (vintage, homemade, and luxury)
  • journalling ideas
  • novel writing
  • inspiring writing among youths
  • pen supplies & inks (book covers, pen cases, and amazing bottled inks)
  • workshops & presentations
  • community activities
  • networking opportunities
 This is a place for readers, writers, beginners, specialists, pen lovers, and artists!

    Sorry folks, we'd love to attend but 3rd floor! We're in our 70's and hauling all our stock up 3 flights, it's not going to happen. Change the venue and we'd love to be there with pens and pen storage boxes just as we are at Toronto where there is an elevator!

    This year (November 26, 2023) we will be at a ground level, fully accessible teahouse Thesaurus Therrarium: (383 Rue de l'Église, Verdun, QC H4G 2M5) for a mini version of this fair. We welcome you out to enjoy the vendors and have some amazing tea and scones.
