November Reading

Northern Ontario Writers

Featuring Marion Agnew, Vera Constantineau and John Pringle
Wednesday November 22, 2023
7:00 pm EST
​Zoom (link sent to NOWW members by email)
​For years now, we have been holding readings throughout the fall and winter sessions. COVID meant we had to switch to Zoom, but that led to unforeseen benefits. For example, Zoom allows us to have readings from NOWW members who do not live in the city or who for whatever reason find it challenging to attend in-person readings. We’ve decided to host both in-person and Zoom readings this year so that more people can join us.
 
The readings are a wonderful opportunity to listen to fellow NOWW members read from their work, whether these are new members who have just begun putting their thoughts on paper and are willing to share with us, or long-time members with their polished, published manuscripts.

Please join us to celebrate the writers of Northern Ontario!
