I was thrilled to PRESENT  at The CANADA LITERATURE FESTIVAL ( October , 2025) 

City Hall, City Centre, Mississauga, Canada.

~ With a start line-up ~William Dalrymple/ Ruskin Bond/ Seema Anand/ Hannah McKinnon/ Peter Edwards/ Eric Walters ….

I spoke to the audience about some of the challenges closest to my heart:

My relationship with writing ;

Changes that we have had to adapt to in this ever-evolving world of literature;

Expansion of literature formats; Discoverability Crisis and writers seeking desperate measures ; The death of new ideas; Reader loyalty and expectations; Market turmoil and Marketability;  International audience and AI

 An afternoon of storytelling, dreams and inspiration, an afternoon to remember fondly.
