Come along and listen to novel writing students, on Janis Mackay's one year novel writing course, share an excerpt from their work in progress.
All eleven writing students have been working on novels, and this informal gathering is an opportunity to hear authors read their work, and speak a little about their writing process.
An ideal afternoon event for people who love novels, and who are interested in the process of writing one!
