A quick guide to some of the must-attend sessions at Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest this weekend

Bittu Sahgal
Conservationist and editor Bittu Sahgal, founder of Sanctuary Nature Foundation, along with children’s authors, Shabnam Minwalla and Bijal Vachharajani will dive into the magical world of mountains, trees, animals, and birds. How do they come alive in fiction, and what do some of the stories written for young readers have to say? The session is open to all nature lovers aged 11 to 13.
ON November 8; 10.30 am to 12.30 pm
AT Godrej Theatre
At this writing workshop, cultural curator and author Parmesh Shahani and journalists Dhamini Ratnam and Dhrubo Jyoti will explore queer memoirs with participants. Some key elements of the session include an introduction to queerness in non-fiction writing, finding the ‘Other’ in the ‘Self’, storyboarding ideas, and structuring and organising non-fiction writing.
