WHO IS THIS GUY?

Well, that's me.

I made it black and white, because they do that in real books and I wrote three novels in three months and blogged about it like an asshole.

Now I’m writing one book in one month, selling it for two, and blogging about it like an asshole.

I’m Vishal Nanda, Hong Kong writer, poet, editor, mental health advocate and spoken word performer. You can often find me at Peel Street Poetry, and you may have seen me at TEDx, Sofar Sounds, or the Hong Kong Lit Fest. I’ve written and performed for Liars’ League Hong Kong too, showing off that I’m not a one-trick poet (and punny, to boot).I also did standup for about a minute.

I’ve been writing poems, short stories and novels for about a decade, and I’ve been published in rando-magazines and have one lovely collection you can find here.

You can contact me with any questions, gushing compliments or requests for impromptu rhymes.

If you want to watch me perform (like this), come to Social Room on the 2nd/3rd/4th Wednesday of every month, and once in a while at The Aftermath on the first Wednesday of the month. (like this)
