Young Steel is mighty proud of Someone’s In My Head.

He may be too young to vote in an election and only just old enough to drive a car, yet 18-year-old local author Steven Steel has already won an award in one of the largest online writing competitions in the world.

The Penang-based author, whose real name is Tey Feng Nian, picked up a 2015 Wattys Award for Best Use of Visuals for his science fiction novel, Someone’s In My Head.
