SEPTEMBER 22ND - BILSTON VOICES
This month the first half of the evening will be 'Ghost Readers' - the chance for the audience to hear the work of writers who might not want to get up and read their own work. A selection of volunteer readers will share previously unheard works by the shy, retiring and anonymous!
In the second half of the evening, Nick Pearson (Offas Press) will be reading from his new collection 'Made in Captivity'. Nick will be signing copies of his book which will be available to buy after the reading.
