Teaching aliens emotions, one cup of chai at a time.

#AmQuerying #hopepunk debut SPACE AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING PRECISE: On a planet where feelings are banned, a therapist & a fanfic-trained AI start group therapy for aliens.

Therapist. Dad. Singapore.
Done! Thank you Ms. Keyes for the opportunity.

What is 'psy-phi', you ask?

(psychology + philosophy) × sci-fi.

Authentic therapy tools meet sci-fi’s grand questions around consciousness, belonging, & humanity. My attempt as a therapist to bridge the gap b/w evidence-based psychology and speculative storytelling.

Huge thanks to the organizers, agents, publishers, and my gloriously talented fellow writers. What an incredible community. Love from Singapore.

Love this! Has me intrigued and then some.

Word. Nothing more creative on the internet than the fanfic tags, as I have learned while 'researching'. Also, @katchowrites.bsky.social thought of Douglas Adams, too, during #preDV. But I wanted to include latest comps. Managed two agent likes so far. May the algorithms be in your favor, too!

You've been able to pull off something so meaningful, so fun, and with a sense of community. Thank you!

The most surprising thing about DVpit for me has been how strong the GIF game is for both the writers and agents involved.

I did. A part of me is proud, even if another part was a bit lost.

I am rooting for this, so hard!

Always had a soft corner for chai-lovers. Thank you!

BRING IT ON. I literally can't wait to get my hands on it. I was sold on the first two lines.
October 8, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Thank you. This is very encouraging, Joey!

Love the comps. The world does need more murder mysteries in the SF world. All the best!

Thank you!

Thank you! There's a
kindness-fueled revolution
BUT with a snarky alien-AI narrating it, on his way to sentience.
