The Story Circle is an online virtual book club open to readers anywhere in the world.

Hosted by New Zealand author Marina deVries, based in North Canterbury New Zealand, these special Zoom events offer an opportunity to hear directly from authors about the inspiration, research, and stories behind their writing; and connect with fellow booklovers.

The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants approximately one week before each event.

There is no expectation to speak or contribute during the session. You are welcome to simply listen and enjoy the experience. Cameras can remain off, allowing you to join comfortably from your own lounge and immerse yourself in a live, interactive literary event.

Settle in with a cup of tea and enjoy an evening of storytelling, conversation, and connection.
