Process is the kind of small-press project that feels less like a product and more an art object, or eco-system.

Assembled within the Malaysian independent scene, this first volume gathers writers and artists working across fiction, reflection, image, and experiment—concerned less with polish than with becoming.

What gives the anthology its charge is proximity to place, to emerging voices, to the informal and the unfinished. It documents a particular literary moment—urban, regional, transnational—without smoothing its edges.

For readers interested in contemporary Southeast Asian independent publishing, it offers a snapshot of a scene thinking aloud.
