Launched this week, The Asian Writers Project (TAWP) is a new project thats aims, by providing a platform to promote Asian writers and their work, to inspire the next generation of British Asian writers. Each month their website will feature the very best of Brit Asian Literature; the authors and their books. Regular features include forthcoming events, opportunities, prizes and information on creative writing courses.

This month TAWP features Mohsin Hamid, the author of Mothsmoke and most recently The Reluctant Fundamentalist, about his personal journey as a writer. Priya Basil talks about Ishq and Mushq, her brilliant debut novel. They also catch up with Imran Ahmad to discuss Unimagined, the story about his life growing up in the West.

Submissions from new and emerging writers are now being invited to feature on the website next month.
