Nepali Young Adult's Literature: Content Creation Project
OLE Nepal has started an ambitious project to create content relevant to Young Adult (YA) in Nepali literature. Over the span of two years, we spent collecting and archiving work of Nepali literature, and we realized that there was a real dearth of literary materials for YAs between the ages of eleven and eighteen. After a number of discussions on this topic, E-Pustakalaya's Advisory Panel met on November 30, 2010, at the OLE Nepal office to plan the content creation process to meet the literary needs of teenagers in Nepal.
