New Delhi: A powerful session took place during the second day of  6^th Global Literary Festival Noida 2020 when writers expressed their desire of writing a lot during last six months of Pandemic related to Non Fiction Literature.

“I have noticed that every newspaper, every blog all over India and abroad is full of non-fiction material. This was the time when writers were stuck to their homes and were also surrounded by hue and cry of pandemic probably influenced by radio and television news and programs and definitely there was only one topic of discussion and that was pandemic. Information and education both have taken over fiction in last six months,” said Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios and GLFN.

“The fact is the demand of Non Fiction suddenly immerged from the people. And every writer who wanted to be read by people changed their mode of writing. They were emphasising on the material which has more value during pandemic. Fiction took a back seat and writeups, articles, books on how to live better taken over the market,” said Ashok Arora author and lawyer.

This is a reality, I started talking and writing about motivational subjects, health, spirituality and much more on environment and humanity. The tone changed automatically. This was a big change in literature during pandemic,” said Tanmay Dubey author and Coach.

During the same session a book titled ‘Know Your Unique Self’ written by Jasbir Grover was released by the dignities. Jasbir talked about her book and extended heartiest thanks to Global Literary Festival for giving her an opportunity to be on the international platform.
