ESEA Lit Fest 2024

“An amazing day… It was one of the very few occasions in my life so far where I was in a room with the majority filled by people who were from the East and South-East Asian community and I'm so glad that @eseapn has helped to create this space for us by putting this event together. I hope that this is just the start of an annual literary festival as yesterday definitely showed there's a need for one! ❤️”

‘An amazing and historic occasion… It was so meaningful to have the luxury of that space to just be without the limits of expectation that can come with being ESEA or a person of colour, to explore messiness and complexities and joy through the lens of literature. I was honoured to be a part of such a well-curated event.’

‘An outstanding and much needed literary festival.’

‘I felt quite emotional looking at the crowd... It’s wonderful to see the community you’re building now. I loved the fact the sessions were so thoughtfully put together… You’ve made something really special.’
