Deadline extended! Submit by 7 July 2019!
2018 has been a year of many transitions. Malaysia elected a new government. Penang has a new Chief Minister. The Malaysian Writers Society elected a new committee. The MYWriters Penang working committee said hello to Diyaa and goodbye to Vick and Mark. We don't know what 2019 will bring, so that's a new adventure altogether!
Everything changes, and yet everything stays the same. Tell us stories about change and transitions!

- You may submit one piece each for fiction or creative nonfiction, or two pieces of poetry. However, only one piece will be selected per writer.
Each accepted writer will get a free copy of the chapbook (print and ebook) 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.
