Submissions for Issue 2 of the Hong Kong Writers Circle‘s quarterly online literary magazine The Apostrophe close 31 July. The theme for Issue 2 is ‘MIND‘; open to interpretation and wilful misinterpretation any way the writer, poet or artist chooses! The publication of Issue 2 is timed to coincide with World Mental Health Month! Thanks to Mind HK for allowing me to share with their community. Check out the submissions guide here and don’t forget to subscribe!
I’m excited to be collaborating with the Hong Kong Writers Circle producing and presenting a podcast exploring the timely theme of ‘Masking The City: Hong Kong in Allegory‘!
Writer Unblocked showcases original short stories, poetry and humor to unlock and unblock Hong Kong’s creative art and soul. While some lucky writers and artists have been feeling creatively inspired by the protests, lockdown and surreality of social distancing, others have been left feeling disoriented, emotionally locked and creatively blocked.
Join me, familiar and debut voices from the Hong Kong Writers Circle as we attempt to ease the ‘blockdown’. The series will be recorded Sept/Oct 2020 and tie in with the publication of the HKWC’s 2020 anthology in November! The first episode will be recorded Sept 14 and feature Chief Editor Nathan Lauer and HKWC Chair Chris Maden.
