Author Panel - Telling Stories from the Margins (Writer-In-Residence)

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Description

In recent years, the North American literary landscape has seen an increase in diverse voices, yet representation still has a long way to go. Hear from a panel who will discuss working in an industry that has historically excluded people like them and their writing.

This program is led by Aaron Chan, Richmond’s Writer-in-Residence. Visit richmond.ca/WriterInResidence for more information.

This program will take place in the Richmond Cultural Centre - Theatre Under the Stairs. Drop-in.
