Winning writers: Calistro Prize 2013 winner Chris Lin (centre) with merit award recipients Lee Su Ann (left) and Michele Chia.

It took lecturer five nights and a day to write award-winning story.

“WE are all story-telling creatures in nature – even the simplest text message is deemed to convey a story to someone it’s intended for. It’s my sincere, fervent hope that more people would read, write and support the works of Malaysian writers,” said Chris Lin, 48, winner of the Calistro Prize 2013 Awards, held yesterday at the Kuala Lumpur Library to honour Malaysia’s fiction writers for children and young adults.
