Pim Wangtechawat: Owning one's multiculturalism

Pim Wangtechawat is a Thai-Chinese writer from Bangkok, Thailand. She graduated with Distinction from Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland with a Masters in Creative Writing. Her debut novel, The Moon Represents My Heart, was published by OneWorld Publications in the UK in June 2023. Television rights sold after a competitive auction to 21 Laps and Netflix, with actress Gemma Chan set to star and produce.

We discussed how Pim started writing in English, the doubts she faced in the beginning, and how today she advises young writers to own their multiculturalism and just tell their stories without being afraid.
