?The focus of the book will be on young writers in the 20s and 30s.
?The writers should be women of South Asian extraction, but may be based
anywhere in the world. We are interested in non-resident Indian writers as well
as those based in India.
?Stories can be of any length up, ideally anywhere between 2-5,000 words and
should be complete stand-alone narratives.
?All submissions must be in English.
?The anthology will be of fictional writing, and we are keen to include a
variety of genres ? from humourous pieces to science fiction, fantasy,
detective stories, and other forms which may fall under the general rubric of
?speculative fiction?.
?Preference will be given to unpublished stories.
Selection
Selection will be on merit, and the stories would be read by Zubaan?s in-house
editorial team. The final selection for inclusion would rest with the Editor.

story, writers should email a short biography about themselves, including
details of their published writings (if any).
Publication
Responsibility for the editing, design, production and sales of the book rests

book.
