Leap+ | magazine of Asia Pacific Writers & Translators

LEAP+ has been launched by Asia Pacific Writers & Translators, a new quarterly online magazine featuring contributions from writers around Asia and beyond. LEAP+ will provide pragmatic advice on creative writing, editing, literary translation, finding publishers, opportunities to present new work, and places to find writer peers and mentors.

It also seeks to provide current lists of events and opportunities for writers and translators in the Asia Pacific region.

We welcome ideas and articles from established writers, editors and others willing to share their expertise and experience.

LEAP+ is not a literary magazine. We don’t want to duplicate existing resources, and there are now plenty of good online literary magazines produced in Asia, which we support. We hope that, in time, readers of LEAP+ will be lead to those publications. If you know of a magazine that you think should be featured here, contact the editor.

Through LEAP+, Asia Pacific Writers & Translators seeks to fill an information vacuum. Resources such as this have been available for emerging writers in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and elsewhere for many years. But other existing resources generally fail to include information about events and debates that are relevant, specific and accessible to writers in Asia.
