Unfortunately, the book itself is too Malaysian-centric for me to help much from over here. But if you think of something I can do, FB poke me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-82895765104984334342008-01-31T01:01:00.000+08:002008-01-31T01:01:00.000+08:00And thanks for all your support :-) This essay-boo...And thanks for all your support :-) This essay-book series would, if it takes off, be the single thing of which I am most proud.

I know people abroad (Malaysians and non-Malaysians alike) who would be more than happy to get their hands on fresh, new, uncensored quality writing from Malaysia. OK, I make these essays sound like fresh fish but you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>I may be a huge geek but I, for one, am super-excited to get my hands on this book when it's launched. And when you're alone on Valentine's what's the next best thing? A BOOK!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep on fighting the good fight... such a cliche, but you've lots of support and not every Malaysian is a brain-dead sleepwalker. I think there are loads who admire your spunk and courage, because well, it does take courage to fly in the face of convention... and defy our scary Datuks-Who-Censor-And-Politicians-Who-Use-the-ISA-as-a-<BR/>Deterrent-Against-Any&All-Conflicting-Opinion.<BR/><BR/><BR/>ScoutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-69812633385368350602008-01-29T12:08:00.000+08:002008-01-29T12:08:00.000+08:00dude, sell it online. malaysians pay through mayba...dude, sell it online. malaysians pay through maybank2u, international through paypal. then you mail it to them lah - or you could set up a meet up point eg. pst bandar at midnight - so they could pick it up - definitely will create a buzz by doing that man :)<BR/><BR/>btw, it doesnt cost anything to set up a paypal account, and well for maybank2u you'd need a maybank accountlah.freakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217152578875669488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-64038869261937104832008-01-29T11:08:00.000+08:002008-01-29T11:08:00.000+08:00Amir, in this era of Internet, you should have no ...Amir, in this era of Internet, you should have no problem selling the book.

I think for real journalism/criticism/nonfiction/fiction to flourish -- in short, for good writing of any sort to flourish -- there needs to be freedom of thought and speech.<BR/><BR/>-- PreetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-14329224454785982832008-01-29T02:22:00.000+08:002008-01-29T02:22:00.000+08:00selling it yourself = you don't have to pay the mi...selling it yourself = you don't have to pay the middle man.-_-https://www.blogger.com/profile/06735511570259444919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-9565352478548709112008-01-28T21:43:00.000+08:002008-01-28T21:43:00.000+08:00That's the spirit, Amir.
