EVENT INFO
NEW WORD ORDER PRESENTS GAVIN LEE
Genre:
Literary Arts
Gavin Lee has been writing since his secondary school years and subconsciously the idea of publishing lingered in the undercurrents for the longest time, biding for the appropriate moment.
In 2007, a 3rd-prize winning entry in The ST Life!-Elephant & Coral short fiction writing competition provided the catalyst for such an endeavour - that perhaps it was, after all, possible! After winning the 3rd prize at the 2007 ST Life! Elephant & Coral short fiction writing competition, Gavin Lee set himself the goal of getting published in 5 years. Last year, he left his job to complete his debut work of fiction “Tell Me Why The Sea Is Blue”. A collection of short stories and poetry, its first part leans towards the fantastical in being inspired by the volatile element of fire. The second part follows the fluidity of water to touch on more sensitive and emotional societal issues.
Gavin will read from his work as well as discuss the perils of self-publishing. He also wants to hear your most creative answer to why the sea is blue. So come meet the writer and offer creative answers why the sea is blue!
