Writers in Conversation features some of today’s best fiction writers, poets, non-fiction writers and playwrights reading from their work and talking about their writing lifestyle - how characters take shape and where ideas come from. Led by creative writing lecturers at the University of Southampton, the event takes place at the new John Hansard Gallery in Southampton, helping to create an evening that is relaxed, engaging and intelligent, yet informal.
