Join us for a showcase of The Best of Malaysian Fiction in English 2010-2020 in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! Celebrate the launch of our new anthology at Riwayat! Come listen to contributors read their stories, get a copy, and meet fellow readers and writers!

I am not mopping the floor. 😂

There is a lot of exceptionally brilliant Southeast Asian-authored books coming in 2023 (and 2024!) and it makes my heart so happy to see it. Frustrating I have seen no written roundup in media so here's a start. And if you know of more please tell me/send me!!

Call for prose, poetry, visual art, non-fiction, experimental/hybrid work—Brandon K. Liew, guest editor Portside Review: "We are accepting work written in any language spoken in Malaysia, from contributors with a meaningful connection to Malaysia." More: portsidereview.com/open-call-mala…

Congrats! Looking forward to reading your piece.

Congratulations!

Mark your calendars! khōréō will open submissions from July 15 to August 15! We're looking for stories by immigrant and diaspora writers that are <5,000 words (so flash fiction and short stories are both welcome!) Payment is $0.10/word. More details: khoreomag.com/submissions-fi…

😱The horror when you realised that signing your name in the wrong place will actually ruin the entire piece after having laboured over this 6 ft x 2ft sized paper for an hour and a half. Thank god story writing doesn’t hold the same kind of risks. (?) #落款horrors

Can’t wait! Congratulations Shih-Li!

Got my ticket!! 🎟
