Book of Winning Stories from Write&Read is Launched

Write&Read: By Us, For Us - the book of shortlisted stories from our story writing contest was released at a stirring book launch function held in Delhi yesterday. Present at the launch were Prasoon Joshi as well as ten of the winners and their families. Addressing the group, Prasoon Joshi described how difficult it was to cull the 'refreshingly original and creative' entries in the contest down to the final list of 29 stories. Katha will now help to place the book in libraries across the country and it will also be available for purchase for Rs 375. Proceeds from book sales will be donated to schools operating in underprivileged communities in Delhi, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh.
