Happy new year! We've been making some changes around here, so here's what you can expect from MYWriters Penang and NutMag zine in 2023! Meet our new editors Since 2016, each year's zine has been a team effort. This meant that the team would read all the submissions and vote on the 10 pieces to make it into print. Final decisions and editorial work then fell to Anna Tan. This year, we are expanding the team by introducing our Fiction Editor, Wan Phing Lim and our Poetry Editor, Yee Heng Yeh. Anna will still be looking at the creative nonfiction submissions. We're hoping that this will further refine the curation and editing process to bring you the best writings from Penang. Opening to blog submissions With these new editors on board, we've decided to utilise this blog space a little more! You can now submit your short stories, creative nonfiction, and reviews (up to 1,000 words) and poetry (up to 20 lines). There's no submission deadline or theme for this; entries will be read on a rolling basis, probably once a month. Any selected pieces will be posted at a rate of once a month as well. Note: to increase your chances of getting selected, go look up our editors' profiles and see what they like! Penang Writers Workshops
It's been a while since we had one of these! We're still working out the details, but we're planning on running our writer's workshops again, building from our previous workshops and the Chevening Writers Series. Keep your eyes peeled for more info soon!
