The Life of a UNESCO Writer
About this Event
Join international writers and illustrators Aining Wen (Nanjing City of Literature, China), Judith Rossell (Melbourne City of Literature, Australia) and Manjiri Prabhu (Kozhikode City of Literature, India) for a special discussion about their recent residency at Agatha Christie’s Greenway house, writing, and what it means to be a writer within a UNESCO City of Literature, chaired by author Fiona Williams (House of Broken Bricks).
The residency aims to give space and support for writers from three Cities of Literature to visit Devon where they can develop their practice in an inspiring and important literary setting. The residencies will run simultaneously - each writer will be hosted in a room of their own within Greenway to help foster exchange between writers from different countries.
At the time of this talk, they will have completed their time at Greenway and will be reaching the end of the residency, staying in Exeter.
