“My process is one of ... never flinching or turning away from the pain of difficult experiences.” Speaking with honesty, as Cyril Wong says, is harder than we think. But it can be rewarding for both writer and reader. Join him at BooksActually to find out why—and how you can be honest in your writing while engaging your readers, too.
Daryl Qilin Yam, the author of Kappa Quartet will be moderating this event.
