Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Himal Fiction Fest. The online festival showcases exceptional emerging voices in Southasian fiction, and brings together readers, writers, publishers, editors and agents from across the region.
Over two weeks, we will release six original short stories by writers from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh and India, and host two reading sessions and discussion panels featuring the writers alongside top figures from Southasian publishing.
