The writing community in Penang, known as MYWritersPenang, is active and vibrant. The writers meet up regularly for write-ins, group critiques, reading performances, trainings and book-selling events.
MYWritersPenang also published an annual zine known as NutMag and runs their own online monthly newsletter (subscribe here: www.nutmagzine.weebly.com/contact.html). You may also join MYWritersPenang Facebook Group to stay updated with what’s happening in the writing scene in Penang.
ANNA TAN
Things that annoy Anna: accounts that do not balance and badly-written novels. She has given up on annoying bean counters in general–she now counts money for the Malaysian Writers Society and runs write-ins, though not both at the same time. Anna is the primary editor for NutMag.
WILSON KHOR 
Despite his everyday profession as a semi-professional freelancer, Wilson Khor W.H. is known more as a poet rather than a writer—even more as a friend whose words carry the scent of blooming flowers; the heartbeats of his companions and supporters colouring the shades of their petals.
