A few weeks ago, I got wind that this article had featured The Steampowered Globe (available from our publisher) had been featured as a Singapore book of genre fiction that people should be reading. The article is on the Budding Writers League, a new site for local writers.
Don’t be scared off by their name – while their target audience includes younger writers, it also welcomes everyone no matter what the age. Sign up for an account, then you can post your stories for comments and suggestions by others on the site. I admit, some of the criticism can be a bit pedantic, but in a well-intentioned way.
The site’s quite new so they might be a bit light on content, but they do have a BWL Mentorship Programme! It’s pretty neat. So far they only have one mentor (the wonderful Joyce Chng, whose Wolf at the Door series is excellent and highly recommended), but perhaps in the future the programme will expand.
The Happy Smiley Writers Group (us, basically) have been contact with the BWL. We’re looking forward to working with them in the future. (:
For more information, check out their website and their Facebook group!
