How I Write : Writers on their Craft [Paperback]

How I Write is a landmark collection featuring intimate interviews with poets, novelists, translators and non-­fiction writers, all of whom share a deep connection to the South Asian experience. Through candid conversations with fellow authors, these writers reveal 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 practise it.

How I Write was created by South Asia Speaks, a literary fellowship programme empowering outstanding emerging writers from South Asia.
