#MYWritersFest started in 2015 as a month-long festival in October that celebrates local writers and their works. Key to our first four fests were the meet and greet sessions, where writers met readers and showcased their works, and the professional development series. The 2019 fest also incorporated writing retreats as part of the programming. The 2021 edition of #MYWritersFest was a virtual weekend conference from 22 – 24 October 2021. that hosted various talks, panels and workshops, as well as online Sesi Mengopi for Society members to chat about what they’ve learnt throughout the day!
