Website: http://www.asiancha.com/
Email Address: tammyho@asiancha.com
Editor/Consultant: Tammy Ho Lai Ming
Country: Asia
Type: Online journal
Description: Cha, founded in 2007, a decade after the handover, is the first Hong Kong-based English online literary quarterly journal. We are dedicated to publishing creative works from and about Asia (see our list of contributors). The journal had a Beijing launch on 31 August 2009 by Royston Tester (Guest Editor, Issue #8). Cha is an affiliated organisation of the Asia-Pacific Writing Partnership. Cha was named Best New Online Magazine of 2008 by storySouth's Million Writers Award and was selected as The Gatekeeper's Site of the Week (Wednesday 1 July 2009), on Meet at the Gate, the website of Scottish publisher Canongate. Fiction published in Cha has been selected for publication in Best of the Web anthology (2009) and a poem, first published here, went on to win the International Grand Prix for Poetry (2009). Time Out Hong Kong ran a feature article on Cha in October 2009. We also regularly comment on published work in the critique column, A Cup of Fine Tea. The philosophy behind the column is that 'If something is good enough to be published in Cha, then it is good enough to receive critical attention' (qtd. from an interview here).
