100% Penang-grown writing

​NutMag is an annual zine published by MYWriters Penang, Malaysian Writers Society's community in Penang. Just as nutmegs are home-grown in our lovely island, we aim to be a 100% Penang-grown product. 

​Our goal at MYWriters Penang is to help promote Penang-based writers, both published and unpublished.  We do this by creating communities where writers can learn from each other, such as the weekly write-ins and monthly critiques, and giving writers platforms to showcase their works, such as our regular Readings and annual zine. 

Whether you're local-born, currently call this island your home, or transiting through, you're welcome to join us!

ANNA TAN - Resident Potato
​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 annoys other writers by using Track Changes.

WILSON KHOR W.H. - Sales and Distribution
​​Wilson Khor W.H. is known for many things—zine author and publisher; otaku, and an obvious oddball.

His hobbies include eating, being annoying, and fooling around in writers’ meetings. He has a bad habit of cracking the wrong jokes at the wrong time, as well as a notoriety for abusing long sentences, em dashes, and semi colons.

CELINE WU - Menteri Tak Berportfolio
​​​Unsatisfied with life, Celine Wu is unsure whether she wants to ascend to immortality or retreat from society as a beach bum. Her current goal is to become a wicked witch bent on threatening people to care more about others and the planet. (What's the proper terminology for that? SJW? Environmental Biology grad? Cincai lah). When not stressing about work, she sometimes makes time to write fiction.

REBECCA VEGA - Menteri Tak Berportfolio
​​Rebecca Vega is a staunch defender of the oxford comma. She is a corporate cog by night, a running enthusiast by day, and harmonises with all the music she consumes. If you see her on one of her solitary picnics, journal in hand, she's likely writing herself stories she might tell you some day.
