Dragon’s Pen
27th November, 2014, 5:30pm to 7:30pm
During October and November women writers will be submitting short stories and poems for our third annual Dragon’s Pen event. Come and hear the shortlisted writers read their stories in front of our panel of tame but talented dragons including published writers and Women’s Library staff. Don’t worry – their aim is to support and encourage all writers, rather than roast them over a slow flame. Part of our Book Week Scotland programme, sponsored by the Scottish Book Trust.
Thursday 27th November, 5.30pm (£4/free)
This event is part of Book Week Scotland. Book Week Scotland is a week-long celebration of books and reading that takes place every November. This year the celebration is on from Monday 24th to Sunday 30th November
