Celebrate the launch of Paper Jam pamphlets with readings by authors Anna Griffin (The In-Betweens and Other Stories), Iffah Rostam (Sailors), and KQH Faith (Sublimation is Strange). Working across flash fiction, poetry and short stories, their words still and startle in turn. Look out for several longlisted writers who will also be reading! The pamphlets, supported by Sing Lit Station's Jalan Besar Fellowship and lovingly designed by Fellow, are now available for pre-order at a special price to be picked up at the launch. Pamphlets will also be available for sale at the launch. All proceeds will go towards publishing more work by emerging writers.Readers' bios: Anna Griffin is a writer, teacher, administrator, wife, daughter, and friend.
