The inaugural Salam Award Writers’ Workshop was held March 5-11, 2023 at Lahore University of Management Sciences in Lahore, Pakistan. The workshop brought in 14 international writers, with instructors Elizabeth Hand and Mary Anne Mohanraj, for daily workshops, evening panels, and tours of the city. Organizers say “this week-long residency was the first of its kind in the country.” Attendees included former winners and finalists of the Salam Award, given to “promote science fiction and related genres of writing in Pakistan.” For more: <thesalamaward.com>.
