open call

what we burn for: an anthology

an open call by atelier arcadia and writing the city

Atelier Arcadia is calling for contributors to join our upcoming anthology, created in collaboration with Writing the City. We're looking for short form prose and microfiction pieces on the theme "what we burn for.”

All you need to do is send in a piece of up to 3,500 words in length and an author bio (not exceeding 150 words) before the closing date of June 22, 2024, 23:59 (GMT+8). Once your piece has been accepted, our editors will work with you to refine your piece. Please expect between one to two rounds of revisions. 

We plan to release this anthology in digital form, and distribute softcover copies of it via a limited print run.

If you have any further questions, feel free to drop us a message at hey@atelierarcadia.com.

[UPDATE — June 23, 2024: The “what we burn for” open call is now closed.
Please bear with us while we evaluate the pieces — and thank you all for the heartening, overwhelming response. The editorial team will be in touch by July 31 to inform you if your submission has been accepted.]
