SWF KAYPOHS

In this light-hearted weekly series of meet-the-author interviews, we check in with some of your favourite Singaporean writers and artists! Get ready for an insider's scoop as SWF puts writers on the hot seat to ask them some pretty interesting questions about themselves.

SWF Kaypohs is now available to watch on the SWF IGTV platform.

Please visit BooksActuallylocalbooks.sgBooks Kinokuniya and other local bookstores to pick up copies of the authors' books.

SWF Kaypoh is organised by the National Arts Council and is part of the #SGCultureAnywhere campaign.

KAYPOH SESSIONS

SWF CONFESSIONS

We give a new meaning to 'an intimate get-together' as we ask some of your favourite Singaporean writers and artists to talk about their firsts…in their bedroom. Each week, an artist writes a letter about their first music tape, their first rejection, their first crush, etc, and reads it from the privacy of their bedroom to you in yours. (What were you thinking of?)

SWF Confessions is now available on the SWF Youtube channel.

Please visit BooksActuallylocalbooks.sgBooks Kinokuniya and other local bookstores to pick up copies of the authors' books.
