Conversations with Mentor Dorian

Writers, self-published and on the way towards a publication, engage with Dorian Haarhoff who has walked alongside them while they write. They will talk about moments of inspiration, the discipline of writing, the joy of holding the book in their hands and what it's like to share this with an involved mentor who acts as their first reader.
