We are excited to host Charlotte Wood in three events at WORD this month. Her first festival appearance in Christchurch and with her post-Booker shortlist status. Don’t miss out! Great interview in The Press this weekend.

I talked with Charlotte Wood, whose book Stone Yard Devotional I really loved. She's coming to @WORDChCh. And sorry, she's also a Nick Cave fan. thepress.co.nz/culture/360784…

Inspired by Teina's story, Michael taught himself to write prose, along with his screenwriting/directing. He's now written award-winning non-fiction and fiction, graphic novels and crime novels. We first met Michael via his superb true crime IN DARK PLACES #yeahnoir @WORDChCh
