Congratulations to Rebecca Kwee, a student at our recent workshop on How to Write a Novel with Sharlene Teo. 🤩🥳

👤 About the author 👤
Rebecca has a background in finance and education, and started writing more seriously during the pandemic. Having moved back to Singapore after 20 years abroad, writing has been one of the main ways she’s reconnected with her home: her reviews, essays, and stories are now featured or forthcoming in Catapult, Singapore Unbound, Hyperallergic, and Shenandoah Literary. As someone pursuing writing mid-career and with no prior workshop experience, it can often be a lonely endeavor, and she participated in ACWP’s class to broaden her perspectives on novel-writing and to engage with other emerging writers!
