Our Anthology Projects

While submitting the form, please choose the correct anthology project you wish to partake in. Here are the projects we currently publish for our anthologies:

Writing Contest (Open-themed)

All participating writers are published in the anthology, giving everyone a chance to share their work. One standout winner is chosen based on creativity, originality, and writing quality, and receives a prize of 10,000 PKR.

After The End

Theme: Grief, survival, and rebuilding after loss.
Explore endings and what comes after: loss, resilience, heartbreak, and hope. Reflections on survival, transformation, and the quiet strength found in starting anew.

Women Empowerment

Theme: Empowerment, identity, and resilience.
Voices of courage, everyday struggles, triumphs, and the nuanced realities of living as a woman in Pakistan. Submissions can explore empowerment, voice, and the power of lived experience.

Yours Truly

Theme: Letters, messages, and confessions
Unsent letters, reflections, and messages that carry emotion, memory, or longing. Contributions can explore intimate communication, introspection, or thoughts meant for self or others.

Inheritance: What We Carry, What We Break

Theme: Generational baggage, blessings, culture, and secrets.
Consider what we inherit—family habits, trauma, wisdom, and legacies—and what we choose to carry forward or leave behind. Submissions can examine identity, memory, and heritage.

What We Worship

Theme: Obsessions, desires, ambitions, and idols.
Love, ambition, people, money, beauty, validation—what shapes and drives us? Contributions can reflect on devotion, desire, and the forces we center in our lives.

Ghosts of The Living

Theme: Emotional hauntings by people or past selves.
Not literal ghosts—those who linger emotionally: exes, estranged siblings, old selves, or memories. Submissions can explore unresolved relationships, lingering attachments, or the echoes of the past.

Sample Submission Requirements

The sample must be within the word limit of 1500 words and can be any literary piece that you have written; a poem, an article, memoir or a short story, and can belong to any genre.
