Writers and editor tell stories from their working lives

Writers and editors will tell unglamorous stories from their working lives as the Gratien Trust, Commonwealth Writers and the British Council present an evening of conversation with writers and an editor on the graft of writing on Thursday, October 18 from 6.30 p.m. onwards.

Vivimarie Vander Poorten, Vajra Chandrasekera, Ajitha G.S. and Sunila Galappatti work across different forms of writing and publication, from lyric poetry to science fiction, online and in print. In an informal conversation with the audience they will talk about the graft of writing: rethinking, revision, rejection and how they ever know when they’re finished with a work.

The event will be hosted at the British Council Library in Colombo 3. Entrance is free and all are welcome.
