Hi! I’m Wen-yi. I’m a speculative fiction writer from Singapore, and my little bio line usually says I like writing about girls with bite, feral nature, and ghosts. My debut novel The Dark We Know, a YA horror inspired by Spring Awakening and the Pied Piper myth, has some of all three and is forthcoming from Gillian Flynn Books/Zando Young Readers in 2024.

I also write speculative short fiction and the occasional non-fiction piece. Here’s some highlights:

Flash fiction

Short fiction

Non-fction

I want this newsletter to be a space for me to dissect those stories, share parts of my journey as I go, reflect, make coherent the essays I have bouncing around my brain, and to just be a space where I drop thoughts about books.

Thank you for reading!
