Mekong Review seeks pitches on hope amid global instability [Worldwide]
Journalists and non-fiction writers can submit pitches to explore hope in the everyday.
RMIT University’s nonfiction/lab, in partnership with Mekong Review, a quarterly English-language magazine of arts, literature, culture, politics, the environment and society in Asia, is seeking to commission a new series of short literary works or criticism, including non-fiction and book reviews, for publication in forthcoming issues of the international publication.
The new series will explore the notion of hope in the everyday, amidst social, political, and economic instability, including climate change, war, genocide, and threats to democracy. It will explore how people can respond not only with anger, grief and despair but also with hope, drawing strength from everyday moments. Additionally, it will highlight how art and writing can serve as platforms for seeking clarity and building power in times of upheaval.
Submit pitches by April 17.
