Willesden Green Writers Group

Meet the authors and hear some mind-blowing extracts and after the interval a rare treat — a young author finding great international success: Joe Dunthorne*, author of "Submarine", for reading and Q&A.

28th May, 8pm
Studio 2
Willesden Green Library Centre
95 High Road
Willesden, NW10 2SF

Admission is free. Refreshments will be provided, and plenty of opportunity to get a copy of the stunning (we're prejudiced) new book. WGwg's previous collection won a major national award, but we're too modest to mention it (see links, everywhere!).

* Joe Dunthorne has been compared to a new J. D. Salinger, by no less than a reviewer in the New York Times. The same comparison has been drawn by other reviewers, so don't miss this chance to meet this interesting young author. (www.joedunthorne.com)

Awarded annually "for work of outstanding creative and imaginative quality which reflects the voices and experiences of people from different communities across the country." The prize was awarded to Willesden Green Writers Group in October 2005 at a lunch reception in the Council Chamber at the Royal Institute of British Architects, attended by publishers, writers, editors and literature workers.
