The first issue of The Apostrophe, the new quarterly literary magazine of the Hong Kong Writers Circle, is out on Substack! Each quarter, the five points of the bauhinia flower – Hong Kong’s emblem – are paralleled by five original pieces of writing or poetry by Hong Kong writers and five original pieces of artwork by local and international artists. You can read it on Substack here or download it as a pdf here!
Congratulations to writers Quincy Carroll, Murli Melwani, Sam Powney, Sonia FL Leung and Blair Reeve and artists Charles Tang, Kasra Shroff, Cassandra Lee and our incredible cover artist Jade Bryant on being published in our inaugural issue! If your art was not matched with a story this time, it still has a chance of being published in future issues.
The next submissions window opened 1 July and ends 31 July. Check out our submissions guide here and don’t forget to subscribe!
