POPULARITY
November has become associated with novel writing, thanks to the grassroots NaNoWriMo movement, to the extent that in the US, November 1st is designated as National Authors Day. In this spirit, we discuss themes related to the Malaysian writing and publishing industry with author Cheeming Boey and publisher Amir Muhammad of BukuFixi.
On this weeks episode: Cheeming Boey! He has just written his fifth book as part of an amazing series called "When I was A Kid" and he is about to start his book tour. I have known Boey for years so we chat about nonsense and we get into some deep stuff too. Make sure you check out Boey's art, books and Patreon.
