A joint initiative by the National Arts Council and Nanyang Technological University, Asia Creative Writing Programme (ACWP) advances the creative practice of literary practitioners through specialised development programmes across Singapore’s four official languages — English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil.

ACWP offers a diverse range of professional development programmes with targeted learning outcomes led by international and local authors, appointed as Visiting Writers. The programme offer mentorships, masterclasses, talks and workshops to support literary practitioners at different stages of their career. Select Visiting Writers also contribute to undergraduate courses at NTU’s School of Humanities (SoH), enriching the learning experience for students.
