I have taught fiction writing to adults, undergraduates and high school students in Singapore and the U.S. for more than a decade. I have taught college courses in advanced fiction writing at Boston University and introduction to creative writing at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

My teaching approach is informed by (in alphabetical order): Jesse Ball, Notes on My Dunce Cap (2016); Robert Olen Butler, From Where You Dream (2005); Elaine Castillo, How to Read Now (2020); Felicia Chavez, The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop (2021); Melissa Febos, Body Work (2020); Matthew Salesses, Craft in the Real World (2021); and George Saunders, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain (2020).

I teach fiction writing at GrubStreet in Boston. My courses include:

• 6 Weeks, 6 Stories

• Developing Your Short Fiction

• Novel in Progress

In addition to teaching, I’ve mentored emerging creative non-fiction writers in Singapore’s National Arts Council’s Mentor Access Program and teenage fiction writers in the Ministry of Education’s Creative Arts Program. I also run As Clean As A Bone, an independent free six-month mentorship program for two emerging fiction writers from Singapore.
