Anna Tan grew up in Malaysia, the country that is not Singapore. In 2015, she traded in a life of annoying other bean counters for one of annoying the online world with questions about life and death and everything in between. The answer is sometimes 42. Sometimes they try to eat you. Find out more about her books on the Writing page.
One of the pioneers of the writing community in Penang, Anna is also the current treasurer of the Malaysian Writers Society. Head on over to MYWriters Penang to find out what's happening in the Penang writers community!
Anna believes that all creative arts are more than a tool for evangelism or entertainment - they are a form of worship unto God. She has dabbled in drama since 1995 and loves to pretend that she knows how to dance (she doesn't). She starred as Esther in the 2003 production "Star of Persia" and was in the ensembles of "Drunk Before Dawn" (SIB, 2004) and YES Broadway Gala (Georgetown Festival, 2012). Libretto credits include "Star of Persia" produced by FGA in 2003 and "A Place to Call Home" produced by PCC in 2012, because if she can't find something to act in, she will very well create her own production. Find out more about her non-writing activities in the Portfolio page.
In 2018, Anna was awarded a Chevening scholarship to further her studies in the UK. She is currently taking an MA in Creative Writing: The Novel at Brunel University London. Follow her journey on her blog.
