Kenny Mah’s blog - Kenny is a talented photographer and graphic designer in his spare time, in between blogging and writing and his day job. It looks like he may have found himself a new career as his recent photos and banner designs have resulted in some commissions to design book covers and posters for local books and events.
Sharanya Mannivanan’s blog - Sharanya is a young and impressive poet with one chap book to her name. She is working on her first novel and read an extract at the Litbloggers Breakfast - she has a strong command of language and imagery.
KG’s blog - KG is a writer and blogger, among many other talents. As it turns out, before he started poetic, literary writing, he wrote thrillers, too - very eclectic!
Xeus’s blog - Xeus is the pseudonym of Lynette Kwan, author of the macabre collection of short stories, Dark City. She has been inspired by our discussion on the state of Malaysian writing at the breakfast club to start a writers circle for Malaysian writers to critique each other’s work and mentor each other. Great stuff!

Dear Yang-May,
It was a great pleasure meeting you in K.L. and your comments to me about writing was very helpful. Finally took your advice and showed to an editor. Right now working on more stories, hopefully will have enough for a full-sized collection that a publisher may consider.
Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!
Cheers,
Kenny.
