What do you see as its place within Caribbean literature? In fact, for a time I imagined—fantasized? Of course, in between Jamaica and my first book, I became aware of ripples in the water; in the publication of works by Althea Prince Ladies of the Night and D. Gisele Isaac Considering Venus.

I started Wadadli Pen because of the lack that had made my own coming of age as a writer in Antigua so challenging. I wanted young, potential writers to know that it was okay to write and to feel encouraged and supported on the journey.
The inciting incident was a luncheon at the Caribbean-Canadian Literary Expo, the first beyond-Antigua event I was invited to as a published writer, at which the guest speaker was an award winning writer from Guyana, Ruel Johnson. He spoke about the lack of nurseries for writers in the region and that resonated with me.
I decided then and there to do something in Antigua and Barbuda, and began working with partners, one of whom was Isaac, a writer and friend, and a youth publication, Young Explorer , to lay the groundwork for the annual writing challenge specific to young Antiguan and Barbudan writers, which launched in , and though partners and patrons have come and gone over the years, is still here 13 years later.
