"Bestselling novelist Gina Yap Lai Yoong has written six books and co-written many more. Her Ngeri Trilogy has had more than 10 reprints since 2012. A Story Doctor, Gina has been mentoring writers since 2014 in their writing journey. Her passion leads her to be actively involved in the local writing community through running of writers/literary festivals, writing retreats, write-in sessions and other literary programmes/events in the country. She’s also the President of the Malaysian Writers Society with more than 6,000 online members to date. We are delighted she has agreed to run two sessions for WordPower this year: a talk on The A -Z of being a writer in Malaysia and a workshop about how to write brilliant stories. Helpful and inspiring for anybody interested in writing either for themselves or for publication and better still, your entry fee lets you in to both!"
