On 5 March 2025, and as part of the Hong Kong International Literary Festival, Imprint 23, the annual anthology featuring work by the dynamic group of women creatives, Women in Publishing Hong Kong (or WIPs) was launched at a well-attended event. It was wonderful to celebrate the publication of the writings of colleagues and friends – Shikha S. Lamba, Ritu Hemnani, Julia Besnard, Janet Mann, Sadie Kaye to name but a few – and to discover, to my delight, that my artwork had been chosen to grace the cover of the anthology. My mixed media collage was inspired by my Black & White cup and saucer and my long-abiding love for hot lai cha, a beverage I cannot do without most days, paired with a warm por lor bao or a bowl of satay beef instant noodles. I am grateful to the editorial team led by Carol Dyer, for tirelessly working not only with me, but with each contributor to the anthology to ensure that our words and pictures find a home within Imprint’s pages.

Print copies are currently available at Bookazine HK with an e-version to follow in due course.
