🌟嘉賓簡介-About Our Guest🌟

　　Currently focused on writing and publishing, An Ting previously served for 15 years as an educational therapist, supporting children with dyslexia in improving their reading and spelling skills.

　　In 2024, An Ting founded Rainbow Lapis Press, a queer micro-press dedicated to publishing writing that is layered, flavourful, and nuanced—much like their favourite Nonya kueh.

　　Having found solace in the works of queer poets as a closeted and fearful young person, An Ting understands the power of representation in literature. Today, they are committed to amplifying fresh voices from the LGBTQ+ community, believing that every story deserves to be heard.

　　桉珽目前專注於寫作與出版，過去曾擔任教育治療師十五年，致力於幫助有閱讀障礙的孩子提升閱讀與拼寫能力。

　　2024年，桉珽創立了 Rainbow Lapis Press。這是一家酷兒微型出版社，致力於出版如同她最喜愛的娘惹糕一樣，層次豐富且充滿韻味的作品。

　　年輕時的桉珽曾是一位隱藏自我的酷兒讀者，透過本地文學與酷兒詩人的作品，她深知文學中「呈現／再現」的力量。如今，她致力於發掘與推廣來自LGBTQ+社群的聲音。因為她相信，每一個故事都值得被聽見。
