Eighteen is an odd number --the title for the anthology all lovely arvon peeps (inclusive or the great chocolate-swallowing moi) are going to be part of!
So...
If you want to improve your grades for English,
If you want to expand your vocabulary,
If you want to see examples of exemplary writing by youths in Singapore, offering new insights in this cosmopolitical City of a Million Stories,
If you want to see how I write (because the stuff I'm gonna submit is going to be better than my school compositions, I promise),
This is your chance.
Furthermore, we claim no profit! All proceeds go to paying the publishers and the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund, where needy children await. So, what more could you ask for? Not only do you get entertaining stories to read at your leisure, insightful poetry to savour under the soft ashen eyes of the moon, you can also do a good deed (Because karma is a bitch, so all Good Samaritans out there, it's worth it to help a poor, impoverished kid who sits hungry in the classroom during recess trying to silence his/her stomach by reciting the multiplication table backwards)!
No, I will not and cannot offer sneak peeks this time, so you'll have to buy it to check it out. Containing a variety of flavours, from eighteen different writers, poets, souls -- from romantic to the-stalker-down-the-bushes, enjoy a miasma of voices all with a single purpose, different souls coming together to express themselves.
It's not very expensive either -- Stella tells me it's going to sell at $10-$20 (Maybe less?). Hey! Publishing is an expensive process, you know, especially for young upstarts like us who are still depending on daddy and mommy's pocket money!
So, people-who-want-to-know-what's-so-great-about-my-command-of-english or people who want to get into CAP, this is a great chance to expand your horizons and see what people manage to get into CAP. You can roughly polish up your skills and to write that way.
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with me :

[But goddamn, that means I actually have to start writing. Shitz. And just when I had a great idea for the theme floating around in my head]
