2023 Malaysian Fantasy Anthology Submissions Update

We’ve just closed submissions for our 2023 Malaysian Fantasy Anthology, and we are stoked.

Just from reading the story summaries.

We haven’t even read the stories yet, because all we’ve had the energy to do after GTLF and Karnival Oren is download the files into a single folder.

But we like stats! So, here are some stats!

 

 

Total entries: 59

Total entries submitted ON THE LAST DAY (30 Nov): 13 (22%)

Total entries submitted on the LAST WEEK (24-30 Nov): 38 (64%)

Highest number of entries from a single person: 4!

 

To everyone who submitted, good luck! We’re looking forward to reading all your wonderful stories!

Amok: Surprise lockdown launch!

Surprise Lockdown Launch

In light of our not-so-surprising Total Lockdown, we’ve decided to push up the release date of Amok for a surprise lockdown launch!

Yes, Amok ebooks drop today, 1 June*, so that you can hunker down in your house and entertain yourself with a great read. We’ll still honour our launch prices, so our ebook preorder prices of RM12 (USD2.99) will remain until the 23rd of June and will rise to RM20 (USD4.99) on 24 June.

You can grab your copy right here on this site, or at your favourite ebook retailer!

 

But what if I want a paperback? It’s pretttyyyyyyy

If you’ve preordered a paperback and/or still want to order one, we’re also maintaining the preorder price of RM35 until we actually have the printed books in hand. We’ll also sweeten the deal by sending you an ebook copy to keep you occupied until the paperback finally gets printed.

 

More Bonus Content!

And while we’re at it, send a screenshot of your Amok purchase receipt (wherever you purchased it) to admin@teaspoonpublishing.com.my by 24 June to claim a free copy of The Painted Hall Collection! Also tell us if you’d like it in ebook (e-pub or mobi) or if you’d like a paperback—we’ll ship** this to you for free.

 

Happy reading!

Stay safe, stay home, and get vaccinated.

#LindungiDiriLindungiSemua

* Some other retailers might release it on 2 June. 

** Malaysia-only. Those overseas will have to settle for the ebook, sorry!
