Call for Stories Set in Dubai or Mumbai: A Tale of Four Cities Literary Magazine (UAE/ India)
A TALE OF FOUR CITIES

This online literary magazine will feature fiction and creative nonfiction set in real locations in four cities – NEW YORK, LONDON, DUBAI and this month's guest city, MUMBAI. This project bridges the gap between travel writing and creative writing, bringing together stories that reflect the real and the imagined within our cities.


SUBMIT A STORY

We are accepting prelaunch submissions of fiction or creative nonfiction that reflect the best emerging writing from New York, Dubai, London and a rotating featured guest city. We are looking for stories that are rich with detail and have a strong sense of place, a compelling narrative and a distinctive voice. Stories can cover a range of topics, but the locations must be real. Stories should be approximately 500 to 1,000 words.

This month’s featured guest city is MUMBAI.
