Persatuan Penulis Malaysia (Malaysian Writers Society), fondly known as MYWriters, was established in September 2016 to facilitate activities and programmes related to Malaysian writing and publishing. We have organised events, gatherings, retreats, and festivals, and are constantly looking for ways to educate and advocate for Malaysian writers.
MYWriters is an inclusive and non-profit initiative, providing a platform for Malaysian writers that transcends genre, language, function, medium, and experience levels. For avoidance of doubt, this includes writers of fiction, non-fiction or poetry; short story writers, columnists, journalists, bloggers, editors, copywriters, scriptwriters, graphic novelists and literary translators; that are self-published, under independent or mainstream presses; whether established, emerging or aspiring (who are serious about getting established); writing in any genre, via any medium, and in any language.
Our members include published and emerging writers. As of September 2021, we have 100 Society Members. We also administrate the Malaysian Writers Community Facebook Group, which has over 7,900 members to date.
