Call for Submissions for the 2014 HKWC Anthology: Another Hong Kong
Deadline: 1 April 2013

The Hong Kong Writers Circle is seeking new writing for our next anthology: Another Hong Kong.

The theme is Hong Kong from a different perspective. All genres and forms are welcome - including short stories, flash fiction, poetry and non-fiction. The setting can be in the past, present or future. Writers are free to make literal or experimental interpretations of our theme. All that we insist on is a different point of view. Make us see Hong Kong as we've never seen it before.
