SASS x HarperFiction: Authors Roundtable

Join us for a night of fantastic discussion with authors Priya Guns, Tahmima Anam and Sara Nisha Adams at this exclusive roundtable event, curated by South Asian Sisters Speak in collaboration with HarperFiction.

In this exciting panel event, the authors will discuss their experiences as South Asian women including their writing careers, paths to publication, and offer advice for any aspiring authors in the audience. There will be the chance to ask questions and to pick up a signed copy of any of the novels discussed on the evening.

Hosted in the gorgeous Loft Space at Mortimer House, there will be a time to network with the authors and connect with other like-minded attendees after the panel event

SASS creates spaces for South Asian women to connect, learn and share their experiences. For the last 7 years, they have run panel events, workshops and more for their community. In 2018 they established the Brown Girls Book Club, where a group of South Asian women meet both in person and online (every other month) to discuss a book written by a South Asian woman and the themes that each book raises.
