Professor Neloufer de Mel and Mr. Arasanayagam conducted the first two sessions while the panel discussion on “The Nuts & Bolts of Creative Writing” was handled by Madhubhashini Ratnayake, Nanda P. Wanasundera and Sunila Galappatti, admirably moderated by Dinali Fernando, Head of the Department of English, University of Kelaniya.
