About Rachel

Rachel

Hi! I’m Rachel Tey, author of the middle-grade fantasy adventure series, Tea in Pajamas and Tea in Pajamas: Beyond Belzerac, three short stories, and an upcoming novel. I also occasionally contribute opinion pieces and commentaries to The Straits Times and CNA. I work full-time as the co-founder and academic director of an L&D academy, and part-time as a Lecturer at the Nanyang Technological University, in addition to conducting creative writing workshops to schools via Sing Lit Station and the Singapore Book Council. I was awarded the NAC grant in 2015, was a speaker at the Singapore Writers Festival 2016, and my books have been presented at the London and Frankfurt Bookfairs. I live in Singapore with my husband (who illustrated my books) and two children, and I’m working towards publishing my new novel.

  8. Dear Rachel,
    I’m a fellow writer who’s trying to manage writing a novel. I have read TIP and it’s a really beautiful little book with a whimsical theme.
    Do you have any writing tips?

    Thanks!
