Call for Submissions - Anthology 2013

Anthology 2013

NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS UNTIL MIDNIGHT 31 JULY

Please note you do not have to be a member of Writers Abroad to submit, this is open to all expat writers (or those writers who have been expats....)

Writers Abroad will be publishing their fourth anthology, with the working title of Far-Flung and Foreign: People and Places

We are seeking submissions of short stories, flash fiction, non-fiction pieces and poetry on the theme of foreign places, which must be firmly grounded in a particular place such as a country, area, town, village, building. The anthology will be print published and later available as an e-book.

This year Writers Abroad will be donating all profits made to the charity: Book Aid International. Book Aid International increases access to books and supports literacy, education and development in sub-Saharan Africa. They provided 543,280 new books to over 2,000 libraries last year alone and have sent more than 30 million books to partner libraries since 1954.

Author Amanda Hodgkinson will be writing the foreword. Amanda currently lives in the south west of France with her family. Her debut novel, 22 Britannia Road, was released in April 2011. 
            “An affecting story, extremely well told” (The Times)
            “Riveting, luminous” (New York Times Book Review)
            “Convincing and touchingly portrayed” (Independent on Sunday)

Welcome to Writers Abroad

 

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.

Please visit 'Join Writers Abroad' for further details.
