Shze-Hui Tjoa is a Singaporean writer who lives in Edinburgh, UK.

​Her debut, The Story Game: A Memoir (Tin House Books, 2024), is a genre-bending work about storytelling, sisterhood, c-PTSD, having been raised as a child musician, and deconstructing/finding the self. It was recognised as a notable book of its release season by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Book Riot, and Between the Covers podcast. It was also listed as a "Literary MagNet" feature in Poets & Writers magazine, and named one of Electric Literature’s and Paste Magazine's best nonfiction books of 2024.

Shze-Hui writes about and beyond herself - is particularly interested in creative nonfiction that takes formal risks to speak the deepest possible truth to power. She is a Nonfiction Editor at Guernica and Adi Magazine, where she works to spotlight writers from different parts of the world and bring them into meaningful conversation.

​Her writing has received support from various global arts organisations, including the Tin House Summer Workshop (USA), the National Arts Council (Singapore), Disquiet International (Portugal), and Green Olive Arts (Morocco).
