Welcome to Writers Abroad

Call For Submissions - Foreign Encounters Anthology 2012

 

Writers Abroad will be publishing their third Anthology entitled ‘Foreign Encounters’.

We are seeking submissions of short stories and non-fiction pieces and poetry on the general theme of relationships around the world. The anthology will be print published and later available as an e-book.

This year Writers Abroad will be donating all profits made to charity, Books Abroad.  Books Abroad believes that education is required to solve the world's problems and is therefore helping educate school children worldwide by providing free, carefully chosen school books. Books Abroad is currently working in 84 countries and serving 977 educational establishments. This includes Africa, Asia, Central & Southern America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Author, Julia Gregson, whose best-selling novel 'East of the Sun' won the prestigious Prince Maurice Prize, will be writing the foreword.

WELCOME TO WRITERS ABROAD

Writers Abroad is a community for Expat writers who wish to join a group of like-minded people. Members are expected to regularly contribute to the group’s aims of developing our writing abilities via mutual reviewing, sharing writing opportunities and working outside our natural comfort zones.

For the group to function efficiently and enable members to experience real benefits, Writers Abroad membership is capped to facilitate a manageable environment for development.

You are welcome to apply to join but please note after acceptance you will be expected to regularly participate in the group activities - we only encourage those who do truly wish to become an active member amongst other Expat writers.
