FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS! We're hoping to gather early funding to support printing our Milestones anthology. Support us by preordering a copy, whether in ebook or in print (Malaysia only). For a limited time, you can also grab a bundle of all our NutMag zines for the past ten years!

Every 5 years, MYWriters Penang publishes a special anthology edition of NutMag to mark the occasion. In 2020, that was Home Groan. This year, it's Milestones! Happy ten-year anniversary, NutMag! Preorder here! tinyurl.com/PreorderMilestones

Malaysian writers, ICYMI, we are taking submissions for our marine conservation anthology!

Waiting on speakers to confirm their timing so we can start filling our schedule grid... #MYWritersFest this year will have concurrent programming and very limited seats. Keep your Oct 4 clear for a full day of panels, workshops, and talks on craft and industry knowledge sharing!

Planning this year's #MYWritersFest! We have a date, a venue, and a lineup of nearly 30 speakers! Every time it's different, and this year's looking like a conference where we learn about different parts of the book industry... workshops, panels, talks, sesi mengopi: we got it all! Follow us? 👀

While we plan #MYWritersFest for 2025, we are also getting a headstart on our 2026 Anthology project. We are looking for creative nonfiction, poetry, short stories, and flash fiction about marine conservation in Malaysia! You can check out the full submissions guidelines at tinyurl.com/MWSMarine
