The Casey Writers Salon is an evening of readings, hosted by local author Ben Pobjie, with guest author Lee Kofman. At this event, Lee Kofman will talk about her new book ‘Imperfect’ and about working as an exophonic writer, and she will read an extract from ‘Imperfect’. The Salon will also feature a reading by the first place winner of this year's City of Casey Writing Competition, with time for questions from the audience.
