Kia ora Wellington! Bad Diaries Salon is returning to VERB Festival’s LitCrawl for a lucky seventh time in 2024.

Four courageous writers, Kate Camp, Becky Manawatu (Ngāi Tahu), Emma Hislop (Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha, Kāi Tahu) and Talia Marshall (Ngāti Kuia, Rangitāne o Wairau, Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Takihiku), read from their unpublished diaries in our lucky seventh annual edition of Bad Diaries Salon at LitCrawl Wellington, with salon host Tracy Farr. The theme is SILVER—it’s the 25th salon ever! What happens in salon stays in salon, so come, witness, celebrate.

ENTRY BY DONATION, $5 SUGGESTED

Bad Diaries Salon is raw, raucous, unedited and candid: the written word, rediscovered and shared.

When: 6.00pm–6.45pm Saturday 9 November 2024, during Phase One of LitCrawl (here’s the LitCrawl programme)

Where: Meow, 9 Edward St, Wellington (map)

Details: Bad Diaries Salon #SILVER is part of LitCrawl at Verb Wellington 2024. Entry is by donation.
