| My events at the Singapore Writer's Festival |
| Book Launch & Panelist |
|
|
I will be launching my 4th book Bunny Finds the Right Stuff at the Singapore Writer's Festival on 31st October at 5pm at the Arts House (Earshot Cafe). I will also be speaking on the panel "We Eat Durians" at the Festival's Publishing Symposium on 28th & 29th Oct 09. The topic is whether we local writers need to write "localised" books. Definitely food for thought. |
