Editor Shannon Young is
seeking contributions from expatriate women in East Asia for a new
anthology from Signal 8 Press in Hong Kong. This collection will
feature the writing of women who are currently expatriates or who
previously lived in an East Asian country. For the purposes of this
anthology, we construe East Asia to include Korea, China, Japan,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and the ASEAN countries. All submissions
should be creative non-fiction and/or travel memoir pieces that
speak to the expat experience in modern East Asia. Potential topics
include travel, work, relationships, gender roles, safety, family,
and repatriation. We are looking for stories with a strong and
personal narrative arc, not just travel guides or descriptions of
the places you’ve lived. We hope to make this anthology as inclusive
as possible, as well, and we welcome submissions from women from
different parts of the world.Contributions should be between approximately 2000 and 5000 words in length. Each writer will receive two copies of the completed anthology and a percentage of the royalties to be determined by the final number of contributors. Please send all submissions, with a brief paragraph about the author, to Shannon [at] typhoon-media [dot] com. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word, .doc or .docx format, and in a standard font. The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2013. This title will be released in paperback and e-book formats in the spring of 2014.
