Joanne Harris

Writing is, at the most basic level, an act of communication. But are writers thinking enough about how they connect with their readers?

What are the social responsibilities of being a writer and who decides where the boundaries lie?

MLF and Writers Centre Norwich present the latest instalment in the thought-provoking National Conversation, a series of discussions about how we produce and engage with writing.

Joanne Harris, the award-winning author of 14 novels including the bestselling Chocolat, Peaches for Monsieur le Curé and The Gospel of Loki has created a modern manifesto for writers.

Join her and a panel to discuss why writers write, why readers read, and what needs to happen for both to flourish.

This event will be BSL interpreted.
