WORKSHOP: "Shoutout to My Ex: Writing Breakup Fiction" with Ng Ziqin

  • Sing Lit Station 22 Dickson Road Singapore, 209506 Singapore (map)

Sometimes, you just don’t feel comfortable giving your ex a shout out or writing an open letter to Dear John. For the shy and reserved, writing through the veil of fiction can be a powerful tool for working through unresolved emotions while still maintaining privacy.

Or, perhaps you’ve never been in a romantic relationships - much less been dumped - but have an exciting plot that you’re simply dying to share? Do you even need to have “been dumped” in a romantic context to submit to an anthology called “Perks of Being Dumped”?

All will be revealed in this two-hour workshop. Whatever your reasons, write and brainstorm while examining the narrative potential of a “being dumped” story, unpack what it means to be dumped and invent new ways of turning the quintessential tale of heartbreak on its head.
