Literature lovers can now look forward to the Write Circle series in Bhutan. The series was launched in Thimphu yesterday. It aims to provide a platform for writers to talk about their books and expand the readers’ circles.

Nilanjana Roy, an Indian journalist, literary critic, editor, and author was the first writer to talk at the Write Circle series in Bhutan.

She talked about her journey as a writer and about her books such as The Wildings series; Black River, which was named one of the best crime novels of 2023 by The Guardian.

The intimate gathering of literary enthusiasts could one day have Bhutanese writers conversing on their books and writings.

“In line with Bhutan Echo’s commitment to cultivate a vibrant literary community in Bhutan and to inspire our young and upcoming Bhutanese writers, we’re very excited to announce that we plan to bring this intimate and unique series of the Write Circles in Bhutan once every three to four months. We are also excited to invite and engage a local literary community of readers and writers,” said Kitso Pelmo Wangdi, Producer of Bhutan Echoes.

The Write Circle series in Bhutan is initiated by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation, a non-profit foundation dedicated to socio-cultural welfare and humanitarian causes, in collaboration with Siyahi and Bhutan Echoes.

Siyahi is a literary consultancy that first started the series from India which later extended to Oxford, New York, and Oslo.

“The idea is to have as many people as possible to do these events. Because the more people that come for these events, the more people that listen to conversations, the larger the literary community grows,” said Urvi Bhuwania, Chief Operating Officer of Siyahi.

Elsewhere the series is conducted once a month. However, in Bhutan, Bhutan Echoes plans to conduct once every three months.
