Litchfield County Writers Project Events Online

Litchfield County Writers in Conversation with Davyne Verstandig, Director
Author interviews and readings sponsored by the Litchfield County Writers Project are being made available online by the UConn Library. Over fifty of these events have been recorded. We will present them here as they are made available online in streaming video format. At present 57 events are online. More will be added as they take place. Additional access points will be added in the future, but for now check back here for new content. We hope to add several events each week.

Please note: some streams are of fairly high resolution and may not play well over slow connections. We are trying to achieve the right balance between stream size and quality, so please bear with us as we iron things out.
