What is Layl Ash-Shayr?
The Concept
IT'S SIMPLE!
1 - 2 Featured Guests
- Hear from published Muslim authors/poets & their works
- Be inspired by prominent voices within our community!
5 Open Mics
- Support emerging voices in the SG Muslim literary scene
- Sneak peek of new, unheard & possibly unpublished work!
OKAY, BUT
Why a 'Muslim' Open-Mic?
To nurture a love for reading and writing in the local Muslim Community
To build a community of Muslim writers who can support one another
A platform for up-and-coming Muslim writers to showcase their work
