Books By Lindsay Varty - Author

Lindsay Varty is an award-winning writer, freelance journalist and former professional rugby player based in Hong Kong. She lives and breathes Hong Kong and is fascinated by its culture and history. As a young girl, her parents would take her to eat congee in Sham Shui Po, order snacks from dai pai dong, and get haircuts at traditional barber shops. Her parents wanted their children to discover the real Hong Kong and to know its people. Welly the Wild Boar is her attempt to share and celebrate that love with other children growing up in Hong Kong. Lindsay now gives talks to schools and societies and runs local walking tours which focus on Hong Kong culture. Her work has been featured on TEDx, CNN, The Guardian, CCTV, and more locally in SCMP, Localiiz and Sassy. She was a featured author at the 2021 Hong Kong International Literary Festival. She hopes that her work can encourage people to take a deeper interest in local heritage and community and help support Hong Kongs unique cultural identity.
