call for submissions: anthology of hmong american literature

Calling all Hmong American writers! I recently learned about the Hmong American Writers' Circle (HAWC), founded in 2004 as a forum to discover and foster creative writing within the Hmong community. HAWC coordinates monthly writing workshops, and provides educational/professional support and networking opportunities to emerging writers in California's Central Valley.

Now, they're looking for submissions. They've got a publishing contract with Heyday Books to publish an anthology of literary writing focused on the Hmong American experience -- the first book about Hmongs in California written and edited by Hmongs. But they need more writers and stories from Hmongs in the Central Valley. Maybe that's you. For submission guidelines, go here.
