Himal Short Story Competition
Tired of being typecast? At Himal Southasian we promise that we don't keep a list of accepted subjects for Southasian fiction. You will not be rejected for including a flower that isn't jasmine or a sari that isn't red. It doesn't matter if you never mention a mango, a monsoon or a mountain range (nor if you do – we have a profound respect for all). Your stories don't need to be set in 'the village' or in Southasia at all. We are interested in voices and stories that reflect the complexity of Southasian experience, thought and imagination in the world today – and if in a way that is new to us, then so much the better.
We are launching a spontaneous end-of-year short story competition. Enter your short stories now, with a chance of winning USD 500 and an opening spot on our magazine's new website. All shortlisted stories will also be published by us.
