NEW SALVES / NEW WORKS: Holding Space: Sustaining Conversations on Mental Health

Facebook - 3.30pm.png

Mental health inclusivity is an industry-wide effort that includes editors, publishers, book-sellers and advocates. In this edition of NEW WORKS, hear from both sides of the industry as editors and writers share their reflections on their publications on mental health. What gatekeepers did they encounter in developing narratives about mental health? How can one uplift and protect writers as they produce deeply personal work? What does one need to consider after a publication is published and the conversation starts?

Join Xiangyun Lim, Desmond Kon and Kum Suning for a meaningful discussion on how to navigate stigma and biases in publishing.

To make this edition of NEW WORKS accessible to all, there will be no ticket fees. If you would like to help Sing Lit Station develop writers and provide them opportunities to showcase their work, do consider donating to our #5mthsto55k campaign at www.giving.sg/singlit-station/2021.
