Chinatown Storytelling Centre

LiterASIAN Festival 2022 Tickets

Launched in 2013 as a community-building initiative, LiterASIAN is a festival celebrating the works of Asian Canadian and racialized writers.   It is the longest running Asian-inspired writers festival in North America

<p>So much of today’s social media is highly intimate and self-revelatory, almost confessional. How can we use that to create deeply personal stories? This hands-on panel will explore how our self-awareness and writing from the gut, such as epistolary, can create deeply emotional experiences for both readers and writers.</p><p>Wayne Ng was born in downtown Toronto to Chinese immigrants who fed him a steady diet of bitter melons and kung fu movies. Ng works as a school social worker in Ottawa but lives to write, travel, eat and play, preferably all at the same time. He is an award-winning author and travel writer who continues to push his boundaries from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Author of LETTERS FROM JOHNNY, THE FAMILY CODE (2023) and FINDING THE WAY: A NOVEL OF LAO TZU. Connect with Wayne at WayneNgWrites.com</p>
