gritLIT: Hamilton’s Readers and Writers Festival presents Author Speed Date (Special Format), with Derek Mascarenhas, author of Coconut Dreams. Also with: Jennifer Robson, Claire Tacon, Perparim Kapllani. Hosted by Annette Hamme and Melanie Cummings.

A fun, new, interactive event! Authors will visit with guests at their tables for 15 minutes and then move on – just like speed dating. Listen as these writers share their newest books with you and then ask any questions you have about their stories, their writing process or what it’s like to be a working author in Canada.

Please note this is a ticketed event, with limited tickets available. Order tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/author-speed-date-tickets-58749398031
