ABOUT
Zedeck Siew is a writer based in Malaysia.
He’s worked as a journalist, editor, and critic for publications like art journal Kakiseni, news website The Nut Graph, lifestyle magazine KLue, and community-level information portal Poskod.my.
He’s dabbled in performance — most notably in Five Arts Centre’s experimental shadow-theatre project Wayang Fajar (2009). He’s also appeared in films like Amir Muhammad’s The Big Durian (2003) and Azharr Rudin’s Via (2012).
In 2011, Zedeck left gainful employment in media to write fiction and starve full-time. He lives in Port Dickson with trees and visual artist Sharon Chin.
What is he doing now?
He’s writing a book! A book of fantasy stories! A hundred (more or less) short fantasy stories — each of them illustrated! (Not by him. By big-time artists.)
Can ah? Can lah. Hopefully the book will be out by the end of 2013 whenever it’s done.
He’s also one-half of CENTAUR (The Centre For Artful and Useful Recreation), a two-person game design collective.
