The Press Christchurch Writers Festival programme has been launched with a line-up that should have readers and writers alike flocking to the ticket office.
There truly will be something for everyone – from young writers workshops to readings from emerging writers from the Hagley Writers Institute; from the journalistic giant that is Robert Fisk to local poets; from Owen Marshall to song-writing workshops; from chefs to blogs – there is huge range for all tastes and budgets. The organisers have done a great job of timetabling so that there are very few double-ups.
Christchurch City Libraries will be covering the festival on this blog, reporting from different sessions and offering written and audio interviews. From now until the start of the festival we’ll keep you up to date on what’s happening and provide background information on the visiting authors. Try using our RSS feed to keep yourself up to date.
We’ll also be talking to the some of the people behind the scenes at the festival, which has been months in the planning. It’s going to be fantastic, so grab a festival programme, and go buy your tickets!
