Zhang Hui: Write and Share

This is a brainstorming event focusing on reading for the purpose of writing.

Come and join this structured writers’ sharing and writing event. Fellow writers will shed some light on the myth of reading aspects of a writer and their helpful practice for making reading a tool for writers. You will have the opportunity to participate in a writing drill to reflect on the ideas shared and write a piece based on the reflection. On a volunteer basis, you can share your writing pieces, comment on fellow writers’ work, and receive feedback from fellow writers.

Come and encourage one another to write, write well.

 

Part I – 10-minute presentations on reading as a writer (up to 5 presenters)

Break: 10 minutes

Part II –  Writing drill (15 minutes for writing, 10 minutes for writing results sharing, and 15 minutes for round table discussion)

  • Members of the audience reflect their own reading habits and skills, and adopt the presented ideas to write a reflective piece about their own reading experience as a writer.
