Call for APIA authors + authors with work relevant to the APIA diaspora in America. Critical / personal essays welcome!!

Hi friends,

I’m Shannon, the editor of a new column in ANMLY, APIA-nionated. I’m so excited to extend and nourish an amazing community of writers and to experiment with form and aesthetics.

The APIA-nionated column features writers and artists whose work engages with issues and media relevant to the Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora in America. In the larger framework of Anomaly, we seek to publish works that challenge conventions of form and format, of voice and genre. For this column, we seek critical essays on contemporary APIA art (e.g. book reviews, media representation, interviews, etc) and personal essays relevant to a quarterly theme.

This quarter: Call for pitches on personal essays that share your experience unravelling a loose thread of your personal history with objects — a rabbit hole down your mother’s letters, heirlooms lost and found, documenting activism through protest signs, etc.

We are always interested in critical essay pitches. Send them our way!

Send pitches to Shannon@anomalouspress.org

PS: Happy Lunar New Year!!
