Synopsis:

LIT’S BE REAL is an online series aimed at introducing Caribbean writers to industry professionals overseas. It takes the form of frank, solution-oriented discussions with editors, educators, agents, and more, hosted by Amanda Choo Quan, the 2020 winner of the Johnson and Amoy Achong Caribbean Writers Prize.

Wonder how your writing will be received by international audiences (when they see us as international, too)? In the final episode of LIT’S BE REAL, we engaged literary professionals from across the world — writers, a talent agent, festival management and more — on what it takes to make a global stage for our voices.
