Cancellation of 2020 Writers-in-Residence Programme events
In light of the novel coronavirus outbreak, IWW regrets to announce that all 2020 Writers-in-Residence Programme events, including the Literary Festival in mid-March, will be cancelled. We hope to host the writers in spring 2021 and details will be shared in due course.
This was a difficult decision, but the safety of our writers and the BU community is of the utmost importance to us. Thank you for your understanding and for your continual support. We wish you all the best of health during this difficult time.
