True Stories Told Live - Wellington

Seven award-winning writers will lay down their pens and step away from their laptops to tell stories the old-fashioned way to raise funds for the Book Council in its first True Stories Told Live event for Wellington.

The Book Council’s True Stories Told Live events have been exhilarating and entertaining sell-out Auckland audiences for the past two years. Now, True Stories comes to Wellington with a stellar literary line-up.

Elizabeth Knox, Kate De Goldi, Neil Cross, Duncan Sarkies, Jenny Pattrick, Craig Cliff and Chris Bourke will have ten minutes each. No notes. No readings. No questions. Just true stories that promise to inspire, entrance and entertain.

The October 6 event at St Andrew’s on the Terrace will raise funds for the Book Council’s Writers in Schools programme, which has been bringing books, authors and children together since 1973.
