On March 13, 2024, the Richmond Public Library will host Writers for Readers. The program is a half-day writers festival from 2–7 pm and will take place at the Brighouse Library. 

Writers for Readers will showcase authors living in Richmond and feature talks from three bestselling BC authors: Iona Whishaw (Lane Winslow mystery series), Eve Lazarus (Murder by Milkshake, Cold Case BC), and Nick Marino (East Side Story: Growing Up at the PNE). Our featured speakers will give a one-hour talk about their writing, with a question-and-answer session at the end.
