I was one of 23 young Sri Lankan writers selected to participate in the inaugural Write to Reconcile project, two residential workshops and online fora led by internationally renowned Sri Lankan author, Shyam Selvadurai, in conjunction with the National Peace Council. The workshops honed the craft of writing and produced work that showed a diversity of cultural, ethnic and geographical points of view on the civil war and its aftermath, as well as a diversity of styles and genres.The work produced in these workshops was published in the Write to Reconcile Anthology which was launched in September 2013. 2,000 copies of the anthology were mailed to libraries and schools across the country and a downloadable version was available as well (Click here to read the anthology).
