After having launched a very successful Inaugural issue, DesiLit Magazine is again on the search for talent and exceptional writers and visual artists. This is an open call for submissions in works that examine *South Asia and the diaspora through literature and art (fiction, essay, poetry, comedy, articles, reviews, and visual art). Submissions must be either about South Asia and the diaspora, or be by submitters from South Asia or the diaspora.

Please log on to our website for submission guidelines

* We are excited to inform you, DesiLit Magazine is one among a very few South Asian literary magazines that pays people for submissions.

Our magazine will print essays, fiction, humor, poetry, reviews, and art. We plan to attract, nurture, and promote artists whose work breaks established molds attached to definitions of South Asia, and hope to showcase their material so that it is accessible to all audiences. We are also interested in pieces that celebrate traditional art forms.

*South Asia is defined as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, The Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan & Sri Lanka.
