About us

Join Plymouth Laureate of Words, R.C. Thomas at Plymouth Central Library for an afternoon of poetry, fiction, non fiction, playwriting and more.

Extended reading slots are available in all categories including a miscellaneous category for anything that doesn't fit the above.

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/2XFmQK3zHMizJpNs8

If you read at the last event, please skip one, to allow others the opportunity as slots are limited, but by all means add yourself to the reserve list

Otherwise, come along and listen to some of the city's best literary talent.

Free entry!

This is the first of a new quarterly series, with more events to follow in September and December.
