Nutmag Vol 3: Island Living

The cool sea breeze, pounding waves, sweat and sand...
Neon lights, narrow alleyways, driving beats...
Slow and steady, snarling traffic, patience and impatience...

Islands are microcosms and macrocosms, larger than life and yet smaller than you think. Whether real, fictional, or metaphorical, give us your islands and your island living stories.

The bi-monthly sub-themes critiques and Readings are additional targets that allow you extra entries! 
Submission rules:
  1. Writers must be based in or from Penang. If you're part of the Penang-born diaspora, you must be willing to travel home for #mywritersfest in October. 
  2. We accept submissions in English and Malay.
  3. All works must fit the theme Island Living however you interpret it. For bonus points, fit any (or all) of our three sub-themes above as well! 
  4. The max word count for fiction and creative nonfiction is 2,000 words.
  5. The max length for poetry is 40 lines (on A5, portrait).
  6. You may submit one piece each for fiction or creative nonfiction, or two pieces of poetry. 
  7. All submissions for Readings that meet the subtheme and/or theme will be automatically counted as an additional entry for NutMag. (So if you submit for all 3 Readings AND online, you have 4 entries.)
Each accepted writer will get a free copy of the chapbook and RM10. (Because we are a little bit poor, but we want to pay you something.) You retain all rights to the piece and may submit or publish it anywhere else.
