The journal is a collaboration among the international Cambodian community, an editorial board of scholars and writers, and the Department of Comparative World Literature & Classics at CSU Long Beach. The journal has been named after the great modern Khmer writer, Nou Hach, who helped to establish a high standard of literature in Cambodia during the 1950s. The Nou Hach Literary Journal has been established to promote literature by Cambodian writers who write in Cambodian, English, and French. Research on literature, arts and popular culture in Cambodia and the Cambodian diaspora, as well as translations of short fiction and poetry by Khmer writers are also welcome for consideration. The Journal, based in Phnom Penh, also sponsors yearly literary awards for Cambodian writers, translators, and literary scholars who reside in Cambodia. It also organizes a yearly writers conference in June.
Volume 6 contains shorts stories, poems, and stories that won in its literary contest last year.
