Escape into Reading
There is probably nothing more escapist and magical than the wonderful world of reading. You can be anywhere. Be anyone. Learn anything. So where to start on this fantastic journey? Yes, the Book Fair.
Once again, the Federation is so pleased to be part of the Hong Kong Book Fair. This year our new publications include, "Island L'amore" and "Dear Don & Sayah" from our School Writers Series, and are the first two books of fiction from the Federation and School Young Writers Nurturing Programme. We also have books to inspire you, like "Turning Point VII", which features eight heartwarming true stories by young people who have overcome many of life's challenges with a positive attitude. Or how about a helpful book on tips to crowdfund your business? "Hong Kong Entrepreneurs' First Blind Spot" shares all. Too many books? How about just joining in a sharing session hosted by the authors and winners from our creative writing programmes? Or join our Creative Writing Zone to explore your creative writing skills and vote for the "Most Popular" Award in the secondary and primary school categories.
One exciting event will be the ceremony of the Hong Kong Creative Writing Competition and School Young Writers Nurturing Programme 2021-23. Sponsored by The Standing Committee on Language Education and Research, this will be held on Sunday, 24 July with the Hon Chu Kwok-keung, LegCo Member, Functional Constituency (Education), as our Guest of Honour.
Whatever your passion; whatever your adventure; whatever your book journey, come visit us at 1B-B38, in the General Books Pavilion at the Hong Kong Book Fair from 20 July to 26 July 2022. We're the book with the local cultural motifs! See you there!
