An interactive lecture with reading, writing, and editing exercises, this session focuses on how voice emerges through stance, rhythm, and compression. Participants will work through exercises designed to isolate and stress-test voice, identifying when their writing sounds most alive—and how to make decisions that keep it that way. Designed for fiction and narrative nonfiction writers, this session equips participants with clear, usable tools to write with greater authority and to protect a voice that cannot be mistaken for anyone else.About the Speaker:Thammika SongkaeoThammika Songkaeo is a transnational novelist, essayist, and filmmaker of Thai origin whose work probes the quiet tensions of identity, motherhood, and belonging. Described by Elle Singapore as “dissecting motherhood, marriage, and the cost of selfhood with razor-sharp precision,” her debut novel, Stamford Hospital, was named by Prestige as one of the 10 must-reads for International Women’s Day 2025, alongside works by Margaret Atwood and Simone de Beauvoir. A lifelong global nomad since 1992, Songkaeo brings a third-culture lens to her storytelling.Don’t miss our special offer: Buy 3, Get  1  Complimentary!Purchase 3 tickets to any events under HKILF 2026 and claim a complimentary seat at one of these exciting talks at Central Library:•⁠ 3rd March (Tue): On Muscle: The Stuff that Moves Us and Why It Matters (7:00-8:30pm)⁠•⁠ 4th March (Wed): I Deliver Parcels in Beijing (7:00-8:30pm)•⁠ ⁠5th March (Thu): Amitav Ghosh: Ghost-Eye (7:00-8:30pm)To redeem your complimentary seat, email us at info@festival.org.hk with:•⁠ ⁠Your 3 ticket order numbers•⁠ ⁠The event you’d like to attend•⁠ ⁠Subject line: Buy 3, Get 1 Complimentary!Hurry!
