The Writers Gathering: What Inspires Storytelling?

Join us at the Green Room at The Boardwalk in a dialogue that challenges us to balance the pursuit of universal human truths with an appreciation of unique cultural narratives. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting, this event is perfect for anyone looking to dive into the world of storytelling. Through panels, workshops, and performances, authors will share insights on how these philosophical principles impact their craft, influence character development, and shape narratives in a diverse world. We'll explore different sources of inspiration, share writing tips, and connect with fellow writers. This festival aims to foster cross-cultural understanding, inspire innovative storytelling, and promote an inclusive literary community committed to both universal human experiences and cultural authenticity. Be part of this inspiring conversation that seeks to bridge divides, celebrate diversity, and elevate voices that reflect the complexities of our global society. Together, let’s explore how literature can serve as a powerful vessel for universal truths while honouring the richness of cultural particularities.
