ABOUT THE EVENT
The format encourages audiences to listen to several authors throughout the course of the evening. Each author reads to an audience of about 20 people for 20 minutes. The audience moves on to the next room to listen to another author, reading from their chosen work of literature. This concept allows the audience a very intimate space and personal interaction with authors from 13 European countries.
