Call For Submissions: Our Own Voice (Journal For Filipinos In The Diaspora)

Our Own Voice has a call for submissions (blogged about on Asia Writes) for pieces about the Chinese-Filipino heritage for their December 2010 issue. Here's their call:

We are an online literary journal for Filipinos in the Diaspora. We are now accepting submissions for an upcoming issue (December 2010) which will be on Chinese Filipino history and heritage. Such an issue would offer our readers essays, poetry, short stories, links as well as a bibliography on Philippine-Chinese materials and electronic resources housed in the Library of Congress.

REQUIREMENTS:

* Short story up to 5,000 words
* 5 poems for a single submission, not more than 50 lines per poem
* Essays, book reviews and critiques up to 5,000 words
* Excerpts from dramatic pieces or plays limited to 3,000-5,000 words

For works that significantly exceed these word count parameters, please query the editor. We will not outright reject a piece because it is too long.

WHERE TO SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS:
Send to our.own.voice(at)gmail(dot)com. Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by e-mail.

Deadline: November 1st.
