#AtHomeWithSLP are a series of panel discussions based on the Singapore Literature Prize's theme #WhyWeWrite.

Why are writers obsessed with the theme of home? Vexing, heartwarming, frustrating, proud. How do they work through their often contradictory feelings about home in their own works? Speakers for “Home: Belonging and Estrangement” include Akshita Nanda, Ashwini Devare, Subha Senthilkumar, Yong Shu Hoong and Yousuf Rowther Rajid in conversation with David Wong Hsien Ming and Oniatta Effendi.

These free panel discussions are taking place on Singapore's Book Council's Facebook, and will feature SLP’s shortlisted writers dealing with thought-provoking topics that are relevant to our times such as home, history, diversity and the role of writers in a crisis.
