About NUS Literary Society:
The NUS Literary Society has a long tradition that both supports and extends the work of the Department of English Language and Literature among students in Singapore. Although its core members are university undergraduates, its aims have always been to share the powerful experience of literary culture with a wider audience of young readers and aspiring writers. Signature events organised annually by the Society include the Evening of Poetry and Music and the Creative Writing Competition.
Among NUS students, the Literary Society is known for its yearly book sale, always a hit with the cash-strapped student populace. In addition, it sometimes organises book clubs and arranges for talks by well-known writers, local and otherwise. It also publishes Argot, a literary magazine.
Prominent Singaporean writers who have been part of the Society’s history as advisors, contributors or student leaders include Edwin Thumboo, Arthur Yap, Lee Tzu Pheng, Leong Liew Geok, Boey Kim Cheng, Felix Cheong, Heng Siok Tian, Paul Tan, Aaron Lee, Grace Chia, Cyril Wong, Ovidia Yu and Gwee Li Sui.
