Derry Author Fest is a day of writing workshops, panels and networking for aspiring authors, dreamers and dabblers alike. We bring in reputable authors to teach in areas of their expertise. As an attendee, you can stay all day, half day, or just drop in for a session. Book sales and signings are interspersed in between our workshops so you will have time to buy books, support a local indie and get some face time with our teachers.
Do you like to read? Do you often wish to discuss the book or want to know what others think of it? Well we have just the thing. Take part in our evening book group! We meet on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm and the book will be available for pick-up at the front desk. Come join the discussion!
Thursday night craft club!
