Literature of Nova Scotia

The Canadian province of Nova Scotia is home to a rich literary landscape. Literature in the province is primarily written in English, with a small volume of French literature reflecting Acadian culture. Literacy levels in Nova Scotia are generally on par with that of the rest of Canada, although the literacy education methods of the Nova Scotia Department of Education have faced criticism. The province is home to a variety of regional book publishers, and few independent news publishers; SaltWire Network, the province's largest news media company, was purchased by the American-owned company Postmedia Network in 2024, and its headquarters moved to Toronto.

The literature of Nova Scotia is influenced by the traditional storytelling of the Mi'kmaq, the province's Indigenous inhabitants; as well as the Gaelic, who began immigrating to Nova Scotia in the 18th century.
