Me on PPP ^^

Sitting on a chair and smiling in front of the Khmer Writers Association, Sok Chanphal, a 27-year-old author and song writer, was showing his new novel Winter Love to other writers to get their feedback.

Winter Love costs 6,000 riel and it is about love during the winter.

To write a good novel is not easy and the author has to know how to develop a story and write well.

Chanphal, who has written novels for two years and has many readers, said he can make his novels interesting and popular with his readers because he always uses simple words and correct grammar, making them easy to understand.

“I also write jokes or funny sentences or paragraphs to add colour to my novels,” he said. “Most novels don’t have real pictures or photos, but mine do.”

Tale of the lamp, The letter of love, Gentlemen love, and Winter love are the titles of Chanphal’s novels, which are on sale to the public.

All his novels have become popular and have gained a lot of support among Cambodian youth.

“I always receive good comments or praise via phone calls, text messages and Facebook,” he said.

By looking at the real situation of Cambodian society, Chanphal is interested in writing love stories in his novels. He uses his imagination and reflects what happens in society.

“What my audiences like, I will do,” he said. “I also want to educate my readers about love as well.”
