You are cordially invited to the launch of How I Write: Writers on Their Craft edited by Sonia Faleiro.
How I Write is not any ordinary book. It is a landmark collection featuring intimate interviews with poets, novelists, translators and nonfiction writers. It is a book filled with generous wisdom from writers we love from South Asia on the craft of writing, how they transformed their passion for books into thriving careers, the obstacles they encountered along the way, the lessons they learned and the intricacies of their creative processes.
Inspiring and insightful, this volume is a must-read for anyone curious about the art of writing and the lives of those who practice it.
We
are thrilled to announce that writers Manjushree Thapa and Roman
Gautam, who are both in the book, will be in Nepal and in conversation
for the launch. We will be joined by writer and translator, Dinesh
Kafle, who was the 2024 South Asia Speaks Fellow.
