Harris bin Potter was then re-printed with 500 copies, and has since also enjoyed a third print run. It will be re-published by Epigram Books in 2019.

In recognition of his work, Apple Singapore named Suffian one of their Red Dot Heroes in 2018.

In 2017, Suffian self-published his second novel, The Minorities, before it was picked up by Epigram Books in October 2018. While maintaining his trademark levity, the novel takes on issues such as ethnicity, immigration, and assimilation in its underlying social commentary.

In 2017, he was also second runner-up for the Esquire x Montblanc Fiction Writer Prize for his short story, Sang.

He also started writing a parody of Harry Potter where the main character is re-cast as Singaporean Malay during this time, also uploading it to his blog. The stories were then shared widely on social media in Singapore when they were re-launched online in 2013. Following an extensive crowdfunding effort, Suffian self-published 300 copies of Harris bin Potter and the Stoned Philosopher (2015) as one of Publishizer's first book project efforts.

He then attended St Andrew's Junior College, where he studied mathematics, chemistry, and economics instead of literature. Upon failing his GCE 'A' levels, Suffian attended Ngee Ann Polytechnic, graduating in 2009 with a Diploma in Mass Communication.

Suffian Hakim bin Supoano (born 24 July 1986) is a Singaporean media professional and author known for his novels, Harris bin Potter and The Stoned Philosopher and The Minorities.
