Call for Submissions: EWomen Indian Subcontinent
EWomen Indian Subcontinent offers a unique opportunity to its readers – to write and be published and read by an audience of thousands across the world. We entertain all types of writing from the experts in academics to the sporadic thinker. Our interests span the gamut of issues that affect women or interest women including every day living and abstract ideas from politics, society, literature, finance, family, health, relationships, fitness, travel, beauty, technology and history and beyond. We seek to empower, enrich, enlighten, and entertain women of the Indian Subcontinent as they pursue their dreams, passions, rights, and goals or observe life.

We select articles that have global appeal or individual merit; directly impact the well-being of women in the Indian Subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Burma-Myanmar; and are in keeping with one of our upcoming themes. Articles that are not relevant or directly associated with this audience are generally not accepted. Articles in keeping with our upcoming themes find a place sooner than those which might not be an immediate fit.

Editors:
