Anna Tan grew up in Malaysia, the country that is not Singapore. She writes fantasy stories and fairy tales, puts together anthologies, and helps people figure out their publishing goals at Teaspoon Publishing. She also wrangles writers and deadlines for the Malaysian Writers Society (MYWriters), where she was previously the Treasurer (2016-2020) and President (2020-2025).

Anna has an MA in Creative Writing: The Novel under a Chevening scholarship. She is interested in Malay/Nusantara and Chinese legends and folklore in exploring the intersections of language, culture, and faith. Anna can be found procrastinating on Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook, which are likely to be more current than this website.
