Writing the Truth: An Evening of Non-Fiction

Non-fiction writing prioritizes facts over the imagined, but stories based in the real world can be as fast-paced and fascinating as fantasy! Join Nova Scotia Book Award nominees in an evening of reading and conversation on writing non-fiction. These nominated titles shine a light on the environment, art, culture, medicine, chronic illness, disability justice, grief, and family.

Reserve a ticket here and PWYC (Pay What You Can) at the door.
