Would you like to be a published writer or poet? #HOWL is compiling an anthology of words centred on the events and stories of this year. If you would like to submit an original poem or a prose piece (English, 400 words max.), we would love to consider it for our book. Email wayne@songsaa.com for details and submissions. Note: As for ALL Howl projects, this is a not-for-profit initiative.

One of the things #HOWL enjoys about its Word Jam events is hearing and seeing young Khmer writers and poets read from their own work. The #HOWL_WORD_JAM event on Thursday—at #MissWong—will provide another opportunity for these voices to come to the fore. Just remember to register as we have only a few seats and reader spots remaining.

As a creative enterprise writing tends to be a solitary act, leading to long hours of introspection, occasional bouts of excitement and more than one or two moments of doubt. Yet you are not alone and recent conversations have revealed just how many people are working on books here in Siem Reap. HOWL is working with partners to hold an event where budding writers – or those just interested in hearing what others are working on – can come and share their stories and learn from others. If you are interested in participating in our ‘I’m writing a book’ session please message us through our Facebook page.
