Catherine Lim
Catherine Lim is known as the 'doyenne of Singapore writers' and it is hard to disagree with that. Having published her first short story in 1978, she has consistently delivered with stories and books that have ruffled the sleeves of many. Since then, she has cemented a name for herself as one of the island's best writers and political commentators, winning a plethora of accolades to her name.
Jeremy Tiang
There is something about Jeremy Tiang's writing that makes it hard to put down. Standing as one of the country's most well-known Chinese-to-English translators, his expertise lies far beyond that of mere translation. As an author and a playwright, his works have won plenty of awards over the years, with his latest book It Never Rains on National Day shortlisted in the Singapore Literature Prize 2016 for English Fiction.
Amanda Lee Koe
The neon coloured background stamped with the white words are the work of Amanda Lee Koe, making her debut with Ministry of Moral Panic, winning awards like the Singapore Literature Prize for Best English Fiction and part of The Huffpost Times' Top 10 English Singapore books from 1965 to 2015. When not fulfilling her duties as an editor for Esquire, she's working on her first novel, which is highly anticipated.
Alfian Sa'at
Alfian Sa'at is no small name in the Singapore literary scene. With his no-holds-barred approach to contemporary issues faced in Singapore, his voice set out from the crowd quite prominently. Writing in both Malay and English, he expresses himself succinctly across the two languages with a variety of different mediums, from plays to poems, and even to short films. From the time he started, he has never stopped expressing himself and making waves.
