We’re thrilled to be bringing Bad Diaries Salon to New Zealand, and to WORD Christchurch 2018. The theme for WORD Christchurch this year is ADVENTUROUS, and Bad Diaries Salon will be bringing the #RISK to Friday night at the festival, following on from the gala Starry, Starry Night event.
If you like your literary events candid, original and unedited, don’t miss this late-night reveal of writing not meant to be seen or heard. In the first Bad Diaries Salon held outside Australia, four of the festival’s top local and international writers read from their diaries or abandoned early works, on the theme of RISK. Featuring: top international thriller writer A. J. Finn, parenting writer and editor Emily Writes, poet and comedian Ray Shipley and children’s author and former fashion editor Stacy Gregg.
Bad Diaries Salon is a literary series created by Melbourne writer Jenny Ackland and co-curated by her and Wellington writer Tracy Farr, your MC for the night.
When: 10.00–11.00pm, Friday 31 August 2018
Where: Cafe 1851, 764 Colombo St, Christchurch
Tickets: $12/10 (service fees apply)
We’re delighted that WORD invited us to take part in their 2018 festival. See what’s up at WORD Christchurch.
