> Call for Submissions
> Although the Southeast Asian American community has a long history and a
> rapidly growing population, there are few books that feature the poetry,
> fiction, and creative nonfiction of the established and emerging authors
> of this community.
>  We are soliciting fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry created by
> Southeast Asian Americans, for a literary anthology of previously
> unpublished work.  By Southeast Asian Americans we mean residents of the
> United States with Bruneian, Burmese (Myanmar), Cambodian, Filipino,
> Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, or Vietnamese
> heritage, including recent immigrants as well as second, third, fourth,
> etc., generation writers. Subject matter is not limited.  The work may,
> for instance, explore such ideas as community, memory, locations,
> genders, the subject of the artist and language—and may do so in
> creative writing that celebrates, records, preserves, explores,
> questions, problematizes, invents, and defines—and would do so for an
> audience who may be both familiar and unfamiliar with Southeast Asian
> Americans.
> 
> Guidelines
>  • All submissions must be typed / wordprocessed, double-spaced, on 8
> 1/2 x 11” paper, on one side of the sheet.
>  • Submit three copies (original plus two photocopies) of each piece.
>  • We will not be able to return your work, so please keep another copy
> for yourself.
>  • Send a stamped, self-addressed envelope (SASE) for notification of
