Singapore Writers Festival 2015 - The first few days

November 02, 2015 in Singapore, Writing, #SGLit

Images from the sessions I attended at Singapore Writers Festival on 31 Oct to 1 Nov 2015.

I enjoyed hanging out with Verena and Desmond (thanks for the Shiraz), and catching up with other friends (old and new).

Thanks Stephanie very much for mentioning We Rose Up Slowly (available in SWF shop under 'J') on the Short Doesn't Mean Easy panel.
