Pakka English Enterprise Purveyors of good literature and writing - We only stock the good stuff.

(Even if we don't have what you want, we can try to get it for you.)

------------

Silverfish Books was established in 1999 as an independent shop focussed on literature, philosophy, and Malaysian writing in English - areas which were either neglected or not addressed adequately by mainstream bookstores. We're essentially a book-boutique for readers BY readers, and all our titles are painstakingl

y (and arguably lovingly) hand-selected, with many unavailable in any 'mega' store anywhere - we* are* serious and committed to good, quality reading and writing. We are also the leading publishers of Malaysian writing in English - our very first book, Silverfish New Writing 1 (published in 2000), is an anthology of short stories from Malaysia, Singapore and beyond, which attracted post-colonial writers from all over the world. We're simultaneously, publishers, a bookstore, and an education center. Follow our page to be the first to get the very latest updates, to have a chat with Silverfish staff, or to share with us anything to do with literature, here or elsewhere!

Silverfish Books - our story so far

“We love good literature and , we only stock books that matter. When we started publishing, our mission was o develop Malaysian writing, literature and publishing to internationally recognised standards.

“We believe we have achieved that; we have Malaysian literature translated into Italian, French and German. “Do we believe in serendipity? Certainly.” ------------ Silverfish Books was established in 1999 as an independent bookshop focussed on literature, philosophy, and Malaysian writing in English - areas which were either totally neglected or not addressed adequately by mainstream bookstores. We're essentially a book-boutique established for readers by readers, and all our titles are painstakingly (and lovingly) curated, with many unavailable in any 'mega' store anywhere.

Silverfish Books are also leading publishers of Malaysian writing in English - our very first book, Silverfish New Writing 1 (published in 2000), is an anthology of short stories from Malaysia, Singapore and beyond, which attracted post-colonial writers from all over the world, and which is still in print.

Besides being a bookstore and publishers, we teach creative storytelling and skilful writing, have organised literary festivals and one of the first to popularised book events in Kuala Lumpur. (Picture above shows a writing class in progress.)
