Youngsters shine with creative stories in ‘The Eye’

A book featuring the short stories of 20 first-time writers, ‘The Eye: A Young Writers’ Anthology’ was launched on Dec 2. 

The writers are aged between 12 and 16 years old and are part of a seven-month writing programme conducted by writer/editor/trainer Brigitte Rozario.

Rozario has been conducting writing workshops for young people since 2018 and their works have been published in books such as ‘Spiral Through Time’ (2018), ‘Writing KL’ (2019), ‘Lives under Lockdown’ (2020), ‘Trouble Started’ (2021) and ‘Secrets & Lies’ (2022).

In an interview with Malaysiakini, Rozario and two of the young writers featured in ‘The Eye’, Devya Kuganesan, 14, and Adam Cheong, 12, spoke about their writing process.
