AX AUTHOR READING AND WRITING WORKSHOP

While the Arts and Culture Centre of Sussex building renovations on Maple Avenue continue,  we have forged ahead with some literary programming.  AX and the Sussex Regional Library will host two celebrated authors who will be visiting Sussex in March and April.

This year’s UNB Writer in Residence, Rabindranath Maharaj, will offer a Reading on Friday night, March 24, at 7:00 p.m., and a free Writing Workshop on Saturday morning, March 25, 10:30 a.m. Both events will take place at the Sussex Regional Library and are FREE, thanks to funding from ArtsNB and the University of New Brunswick.

Robin has written many novels, including The Amazing Absorbing Boy, which won a Trillium Book Award and was voted a CBC Canada Reads Top 10 for Ontario.

Robin’s workshop is open to all levels of writers. It will focus on: finding sources of inspiration, the importance of “voice,” the elements of plotting, avenues for publication, and guidelines around memoir writing. Robin is no stranger to New Brunswick  and he’s looking forward to meeting local writers to talk about the writing process.

There is no charge for the reading or workshop, but please register for the workshop so we can give Robin an idea of how many people will attend. Call the library at (506) 432-4585 or email sussexpl@gnb.ca to register. Visit the AX website (axartscentre.ca) or the AX Facebook page for more information.
