KUALA LUMPUR: An online bookstore - www.booqc.com - has been set up to promote works by Malaysian authors and publishers.
"QuaChee," the founder of the online bookstore which was launched in March, said it is about time Malaysian authors and publishers get a place for them to be recognised internationally.
The online bookstore will be a gateway for local authors and publishers, especially the independents, to break into the international market, he said in a statement.
According to him, the webstore not only lists available Malaysian books, but also reviews and promotes them via social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
In conjunction with National Day, the store is having a "Quote it and win" contest, which offers 15 Malaysian books - including Malaysia's Living Heritage - Batik Inspirations - as prizes. - Bernama
