We’re excited to welcome author Rod Carley as our guest speaker at tonight’s writers’ group meeting.

All are welcome!

June 3 | 6:30–8:30 pm
Medium Effort, 162 King St. W., Brockville

In A Bard in the Hand, Rod Carley reimagines Shakespeare not as a distant icon, but as a living, breathing figure of Elizabethan London. Drawing on his novel RUFF, Carley shows how a few scraps of history can spark a funny, vivid, and deeply human story.

Expect an engaging talk and Q&A.
