Asian American Magazine Hyphen Seeks Short Story Submissions
Hyphen's new fiction editor, Caroline Kim-Brown, is putting out a call for short-story submissions.

Caroline is an experienced writer and editor who has taught creative writing and fiction at San Francisco State University, the University of Michigan and Tufts University. She's also been a poetry reader for the literary magazine Ploughshares. Caroline takes over for Neela Banerjee, who's left Hyphen for new adventures.

Changing editors hasn't changed what we're looking for in fiction submissions. We want well-crafted stories of 5,000 words or less that will make readers laugh, cry and think. If you've got a great story, send Caroline an email.

Guidelines:

Hyphen is devoted to providing a venue for emerging and established creative writers who dare to defy and reinvent traditional genres and subject matter. We're seeking fresh voices and courageous perspectives, stories and personal essays that explore new pyschic landscapes, driven by language, humor, character and extraordinary details about the Asian American experience.

Fiction: We prefer short stories or novel excerpts that are no longer than 5,000 words. Please send submissions by email as a ".doc" attachment; the subject line should read "[Full name] — Fiction Submission." All submissions should include a cover letter with contact and other relevant information. We will not read any submissions that do not meet these criteria. Send Fiction submissions to caroline.kimbrown(at)hyphenmagazine.com.
