honestly yeah you can do it but as a malaysian writer i doubt you can earn much money off doing this. malays read malay books a lot of chinese read chinese/malay books the natives also prefer malay books so i dont see much of a market.... i am an aspiring writer too and i love to write in english but becaus eof it i need a day job

Hi, I am a passionate teenage writer who resides in Malaysia. First off, you got to be confident of yourself, tell yourself that you can do it. Although I'm just a teenage writer, I've passion for what I'm doing and guess what, I've earned money from the Star newspaper by writing fictional stories! And by the way, do enter local writing contests, they do help you to gain familiarity with the publishing industry. Good luck on your interest.

Sure. Since so many agents and publishers conduct all their business online, it literally does not matter where the author lives, so long as s/he's got internet access. There's no requirement that you and an agent, editor, publisher, etc. ever meet face-to-face. In fact, I'm online friends and among the beta readers for a guy in the Philippines who writes for American audiences. He's damned good, too. He limited his search for an agent to those who accept queries online rather than insisting on paper mail, but that's about the only concession he made. He's got the same agent as Dan Brown. That said, though, your English as demonstrated here is nowhere near fluent enough for an English-speaking market. Yet--keep working at it!
