“A book is not just another milestone of an author. It is part of him. As much as the literature value of the content is important, the look and feel of a book could be treated in the same spirit. I have seen, touched and read hundreds of books in my life. But what you have done for my book is just out of the world. How preciously you have packed them, the quality of the final creation simply has no comparison. I touched them, held it against my heart and cried. I have never seen anything like this in Sri Lanka. I thank the universe for making us cross paths. What you have given me is not a book but an invaluable divine gift. I humbly bow my head and say the biggest Thank you for this.”
These are the words of Dhanuka Dickwella, a beautiful friend, a dearest brother, and a great writer who entrusted his debut book to Writers International Edition. 'Voices of Lust, Love and Other Things' his book is an intimate collection of his poems that explores the raw intersections of desire, passion, heartbreak, and resilience.
At Writers International Edition, we consider every work a masterpiece. Perhaps I do not even realise how much we invest in every book, striving to make it a work of art rather than just a book. Our vision is not merely about publishing a book, but about creating something that endures through generations.
Thank you, dearest Dhanu, for your trust, your friendship, and these beautiful words. They mean a great deal to me and to all of us at Writers International Edition.
