Deadline August 3 | Worldwide Call for Submissions for Issue 7: The Applicant (Kathmandu-based Literary Journal)
Deadline: 5 August 2012

We are pleased to announce calls for submissions for Issue 7 of The Applicant.

For this special edition focusing on strikes, we invite writers and poets to submit their prose, short-stories, photography and poetry.

Strikes, defined as an organized refusal to work until a grievance is recognized, happen the world over for a multitude of reasons.

What causes people to strike? Are they effective means of expressing dissatisfaction? What are their consequences? Who is affected?

These are the sorts of questions asked in the highly anticipated film release of Highway this July, which follows the experiences of ordinary people as they experience Nepali bandhs.

Please have a look at our submission guidelines for word limits, etc., and send all submissions and queries to: editorial@theapplicant.org

The winning entry will be given a free signed copy of Internationally renowned Nepali poet Yuyutsu Sharma’s The Lake Fewa and a Horse.

The word limit for poetry is 500 and for prose 2, 000 words. A writer can submit three poems and one article at a time. We will be including Art and Photography in our journal from coming issues: paintings, sketches and photographs.

Please send your submissions in both Word and in-body [text] format . If you wish to include your photo then do send one. Do not forget to include your brief bio.

Alternatively you can choose to submit on-line for upcoming issues using this link.
