Adam Tie, founder and head curator of The Novel Encounter<\/a>, which curates mystery books and offers typewritten poetry services, shares that his most memorable themes and word combinations \u201ctypically happen at live events\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt surprises me how much trust people are willing to give a random dude on a typewriter,\u201d he quips.<\/p>\n

A man rushing Adam to finish the typewritten poem while the man\u2019s girlfriend was in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

A mother wanting to get a gift for her daughter with anxiety.<\/p>\n

A young lady wanting to gift a poem to herself to get over a bad breakup.<\/p>\n

These are some encounters which stand out in Adam\u2019s memory in his journey of creating typewritten, on-the-spot poetry. Using three words of the customer’s choice, Adam churns out a poem within five minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t pinpoint any (specific memorable incident) in particular but it always gets me misty-eyed to see how spectacular human strength is through admission of vulnerability. It\u2019s a beautiful thing. And I love doing this,\u201d Adam says of his experience in writing on-the-spot freestyle poetry.<\/p>\n

Speaking To Adam Again<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last year<\/a>, we spoke with him for the first time. Since then, The Novel Encounter has expanded their offerings \u2013 including new titles on their catalogue, as well as new delivery packaging.<\/p>\n

Like their existing offerings, Adam assures quality for the new collection and reiterates the same money-back guarantee The Novel Encounter has always stood by.<\/p>\n

However, the main difference in the new collection is its cover artwork \u2013 these three new titles have their cover artwork designed by Diana of The Wild Abandon<\/a>, a calligrapher and artist based in Singapore and Australia. Adam also shares that the artwork on the book wrappings of these titles are intended to invoke \u201ca deeper feel of adventure and mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These new titles have also been curated with their bestselling genres \u2013 romance, mystery thriller, and self-discovery \u2013 in mind. Hence, each of the three new offerings cover these genres, to \u201censure it\u2019s just the perfect novel adventure,\u201d regardless if purchased for oneself or for a loved one.<\/p>\n

Having established themselves in the \u201cmystery book encounter\u201d aspect since The Novel Encounter first began, Adam felt that moving into new delivery packaging was the \u201cnatural progression\u201d, the \u201cbest next step to go\u201d with The Novel Encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven my love for good design and customer experience, we wanted people to feel excited upon receiving these not only as gifts from others, but even to themselves,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

A Gift For Yourself Or Your Loved Ones<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What, however, sparked the choice to launch gift boxes?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adam replies in jest that this was done with the motivation to #TREATYOURSELF \u2013 and I would wholeheartedly agree with the importance of self-love! More seriously, as a self-professed \u201cbook geek\u201d, Adam desires to provide services he would personally love to receive \u2013 another tick in my book, in the name of good service quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cA gift box of novel items just makes me feel happy,\u201d he muses \u2013 I can\u2019t help wondering if there is any pun intended there.<\/p>\n

From the gauge of customer feedback, the launch of the gift boxes seem to be well-received \u2013 Adam describes his customers being \u201ccontented and delighted with how (the gift box) looks and feels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you guys (the customers) are happy, then I\u2019m happy,\u201d he says.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adam muses about The Novel Encounter\u2019s typewritten poetry services:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be deliciously obscure, and to be honest, those are the ones I have the most fun with. It could be (live, life, love) for instance. But then there\u2019s (octopus, fireman, crossbow) and that just gets me excited to have the creative juices flowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam shares that he \u201chas always (been) inspired\u201d by writing and reading, as \u201cwords mean a great deal\u201d to him. Thus, it comes as no surprise that he should choose these platforms to \u201chelp people feel less alone, more encouraged, more connected.\u201d<\/p>\n

He aptly describes his sentiment as such \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cIf my writing achieves (these intentions), then I\u2019d count myself as lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going Into Various Directions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are several ways one can engage The Novel Encounter for their typewritten poetry service \u2013 such as through their website and at live events. Most recently, they have also branched out into events. These include weddings, corporate events, and birthdays.<\/p>\n

The Novel Encounter promises that when customers request a typewritten poem at a live event, they are able to write out a poem within five minutes \u2013 this adds to the novelty of the experience as customers experience the fun of watching their poems being written in front of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that it\u2019s typewritten on a vintage typewriter always seems to make people intrigued,\u201d shares Adam \u2013 that\u2019s also what drew him to doing that in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought the typewriter on the spot at a vintage fair the moment I saw it,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Having said that, despite the novelty that typewritten, on-the-spot poetry promises, has The Novel Encounter ever been stumped by the randomness of any word combinations they\u2019ve received?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adam describes an encounter with a customer who had a stop watch on him, and with a friend on Skype.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo joke, you cannot make this up \u2013 (The man goes) \u2018so you\u2019re the three word poem dude, right. I challenge you to do this in five minutes. Forex, Mitsubishi, Starbucks. GO!\u2019 ,\u201d \u00a0he muses.<\/p>\n

As Adam worked on the poem, his customers were literally counting down to the time limit as was promised to them!<\/p>\n

Looking back on the encounter, Adam says: \u201cThey were good sports though, it was pretty intimidating at first but they were very kind about it at the end. It was pretty good entertainment value for the onlookers too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Naturally, this piques my curiosity in wondering if there are any themes Adam might avoid taking on in the course of creating typewritten poetry. Yet, Adam has no \u201cno-go zone\u201d for this pursuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to do that. If someone is brave enough to open up to me about their personal life, it\u2019s my role as the writer to craft something that\u2019s worth of their admission. I want to do them justice, whatever the subject,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Another Beginning<\/strong>\"\"<\/h2>\n

The Novel Encounter has also launched Finders and Keepers<\/a>, a collection of Adam’s freestyle poetry, written at live events for authentic strangers. This was published with much support from Adam\u2019s loved ones, and that of the The Novel Encounter community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI literally wouldn\u2019t have dared to do this without them,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

While this collection consists of a combination of newly composed poems as well as a selection of Adam\u2019s favourite poems he has done in the past, he assures me that \u201c90% (of the poems) are brand new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of these poems are also published as a result of a contest that Adam held \u2013 he requested for the The Novel Encounter community to give him three words for him to put into the collection, and describes the experience as being \u201cgiven an overwhelming response, which was very moving.\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n

At the core, Adam hopes that through The Novel Encounter, he would be able to \u201cdo things that help people feel less alone, that they have an outlet (to express themselves), (and) that they deserve to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, apart from (more) new book titles, Adam shares that they will be launching notebooks soon. Also in the pipeline are more possibilities of new concepts and collaborations, to enhance the newly-launched gift box collections.<\/p>\n
