Creative Writing Panel Discussion - Fact and Fiction: Creative Writing in English
The Creative Writing Panel Discussion is co-organized by the Independent Learning Centre and University Library System. This is an informal and intimate event which has been designed so that interested students and staff will have the opportunity to listen to short readings of selected published works, learn more about the creative writing process as well as ask questions directly of our expert panel of acclaimed local Creative Writers in English.
The Creative Writing Panel Discussion is meant to be relaxed, informal and "organic", so we hope that all of our participants will enjoy the opportunity to get together and share their common interests in English Writing/Reading, and Creative Expression.
