Published authors of the EWC will read excerpts from some of their books and field questions from the audience. It is an occasion to get to know who some of our current writers are and why they write creatively and how they get about it.
All interested in creative writing in English are invited and will be welcome. Entrance is free; interval with refreshments served.
