About the edition

Griffith REVIEW 49: New Asia will engage with contemporary Asian conversations, issues from our region, including identity, belonging, politics, economics, environment, culture and much more. New Asia seeks to identify the region’s new generation of writers who will be the agenda setters and chroniclers of the future, introducing them to readers beyond their national borders. New Asia will be published in association with Asia Literary Review.

Contributor eligibility

Submissions are invited from writers from the Asia-Pacific region* born in or after 1970. Contributors to this issue are likely already to have an impressive publishing record in their own country or elsewhere. Submissions must be in English. We accept and encourage quality translations in English from Asian languages. Some work may appear in the online edition in other languages.

* The authors will be citizens of an Asian country, but not necessarily residents (i.e. a Thai writer studying and living in Australia or the US would be eligible for consideration).
