Sue Guiney is the British-based
American founder of Writing Through, a charity working with children in
Cambodia to promote conceptual thought and self-esteem, through the teaching of
creative writing. Instruction is in English, so classes also help
students develop fluency in a language that opens doors otherwise closed to them.
Sue is also
a poet, and a novelist. Her novels explore
modern-day Cambodia. I met her in
Singapore, to discuss both her philanthropy, and her writing.
William L.Gibson, author of Singapore Yellow, the second novel in his Detective Hawksworth Trilogy, has written his own account of our recent shared book launch, you can check out his version here.
