Bookworms can Enjoy the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival - LateRooms.com

    AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, April 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- People who love nothing more than settling down with a good book to read may want to consider booking accommodation in Auckland for the city's Writers and Readers Festival.

Due to be held over five days from May 12th to 16th, the event promises to provide book-lovers the world over with plenty to think about.

A wide range of activities are scheduled during the festival, including readings by well-known authors, discussion groups and workshops to help people improve their own writing skills.

The programme does not cater exclusively to fiction fans, with entertainment designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of people.

Among the events that are based on real life is High Tea on May 12th. The afternoon will see a number of food writers and chefs sharing their favourite recipes.

One event that fans of fiction should consider attending is An Hour with Colm Toibin, author of Brooklyn and winner of the 2009 Novel of the Year at the Costa Book Awards.

On May 15th, the writer will appear at the ASB Theatre in the Aotea Centre for a discussion group between 10:00 and 11:00 (local time).

Tickets for the festival are available through the official website, with prices varying depending on the event.
