EVENT: The 2025 NZSA Janet Frame Memorial Lecture with Charlotte Grimshaw

Open now for bookings

Tuesday October 14, 6-7pm

The annual NZSA Janet Frame Memorial Lecture will be delivered by the NZSA 2025 President of Honour, Charlotte Grimshaw, and is held in partnership with Verb Wellington and The National Library of NZ.

In her 2025 NZSA Janet Frame Memorial Lecture, Charlotte Grimshaw will report from the frontlines of fiction and memoir, discuss veracity, integrity and clarity in a so-called “post-truth world,” and share ideas she’s formed about authenticity after a whole life lived in fiction. Grimshaw will describe her ongoing quest for answers, including a recent personal discovery of material in the Turnbull Library archive that shattered some final illusions, and fuelled her determination to go on expressing ideas and writing accurate human stories, no matter what.

The lecture will be followed by a light supper and a book signing. 
This free event will be held at the National Library of NZ Auditorium.
Don’t miss this one-off, very special event.  All welcome.
