Writing The City - literary platform

Writing The City was founded in 2011 with the support of the British Council and the National Arts Council Singapore. Today, we are a literary arts platform in Singapore which supports a community of new, emerging and established prose writers to develop their writing craft.

Our purpose is to illuminate all the different, beautiful ways that writing can come to be. We do that through three programmes:

Writer's Cove:
This is a space for writers in Singapore to share their work, and to give and receive feedback. Just submit your work and then we review it together.

Write In Sessions:
Here, we come together to create. We'll spend the first hour working on our writing. Or, you can share your project so the rest can share their ideas. In the second hour, we'll have a light discussion on the things we've been working on.

Writing Workshop:
In each workshop, we explore a specific thread of the writing craft, from writing about love, to the intricacies of worldbuilding. We’ve enlisted help from a diversity of local authors, from speculative fictionist Ng Yi-sheng, to Akshita Nanda, Singapore Literature Prize Winner and Straits Times columnist.
