To submit, manuscripts must be formatted in a file type compatible with MS Word. We further request that the manuscripts be typed double-spaced and set up with 1-inch margins. Include a cover letter addressed to the relevant editor and a resume or curriculum vitae with each submission. We accept manuscripts with the understanding that the content has not been published elsewhere.

When submitting, please specify which genre your manuscript falls under:
Fiction | Attn: Christine Lee Zilka
Short stories, experimental or interpretive works of fiction, flash fiction and micro-fiction pieces fall under our category of fiction. We give due consideration to all submissions, but we strongly prefer works under 7,500 words.
Poetry | Attn: Kenji Liu
Narrative, prose, or lyrical poetry, free verse, eastern or western poetic forms, or works meant as spoken word are all welcome as poetry. We give due consideration to all submissions, but we strongly prefer works under 2,500 words.
Creative Nonfiction | Attn: Jennifer Derilo
For creative nonfiction, we are particularly interested in work (memoir, reportage, letters, essay, etc.) that touches on themes including--but not limited to--identity, memory, family, culture, history, trauma, dislocation. Alternative formats and subject matter are nonetheless welcome. We give due consideration to all submissions, but we strongly prefer works under 7,500 words.
Book Review | Attn: Editors
We do NOT accept unsolicited book reviews. To submit a book review, please send a query letter first, along with two samples of previously published writing. Also, be prepared to answer any additional questions our editors may have regarding your query. We strongly prefer books of any genre pertaining to Asian or Diasporic Asian interests. Address book review queries to Sunny Woan, who will then forward it on to a reviewing committee.
Art Submissions | Attn: Editors
Submit 8 to 10 slides of artwork from your portfolio. Attach them as image files no larger than 1 MB each or, in the alternative, zip them into one folder file. Also please include a 1-page Artist Statement. Selected works may also be used on the website or as part of the journal's cover design and layout.
