Auckland Writers and Readers Festival 2011

The 2011 Auckland Writers and Readers Festival is bigger then ever with a schools programme, the Wordy Day Out, a series of workshops, special foody events, a free Poets Laureate event, words and music with the APO and lots of "meet the author" sessions.
I'm looking forward to hearing Aminata Forna, Fiona Farrell, Meg Rosoff, Madhur Jaffrey, Emma Neale, Charlotte Randall, Gail Jones, Elizabeth Smither, Tea Orbreht, and as many others as I can fit in to the packed weekend.
Hope to see you there!
