Write Or Die Presents Charlson Ong

To those still not in the know: Amelia Bonifacio’s talk for Writers Write has been moved to December 15, 2007. Professor Bonifacio will be speaking at the PEN Anniversary on December 8 hence the postponement.

Charlson Ong’s talk will, however, push through as planned tomorrow December 1, 2007 (Saturday) at Powerbooks Trinoma. His talk will start at 2PM and will end at around 4PM. Dr. Vim Nadera of the UP ICW will also be present to represent the Gawad Likhaan commission. Professor Ong will be talking about novel writing as well as critiquing a couple of manuscripts submitted to him via email. Thanks again to Charlson Ong for being kind enough to do this extra service for young writers.

Once again Writers Write is free and open to the public. Please come!
