Please join us at this year's PEN Naomi Mitchison Event - Meaghan Delahunt
Each year University of Glasgow's Creative Writing Programme and Scottish PEN invite a woman writer working at the top of their field to educate (and entertain) us for an evening. Scottish PEN, which fights for the rights of writers world-wide, sponsors this lecture in the memory of Naomi Mitchison.
