We're curating an anthology of contemporary Climate Fiction from South Asia & beyond. In this anthology, we focus on voices in contemporary Climate Fiction that are bold, unique and unafraid to ask the urgent questions.

We aim to transcend West-specific narratives when it comes to climate change and how it adversely affects our lived experience in the form of a canonical collection of stories from the best thinkers, writers, dreamers, to come forth with their short stories, micro fiction and standalone novel excerpts that are deeply felt, and dare to engage with ideas around belonging, eco-anxiety, decolonisation climate conversations, post-capitalism alternate lifestyles, inclusive community spaces, mythmaking, bold economic choices, wildlife conservation, urban landscapes, green public spaces, collective consciousness or memory, sustainable travel, green weddings, bold experimental ideas.

Send us anything else you believe is missing from the mainstream narrative around climate action. Selected participants will be invited to our virtual accelerator to complete their work. 

What we don’t want: topical think pieces, news opinions, political manifestos, book or film reviews, academic writing.

Write to us us at alinagufran@thestoriculturecompany.com if you have any questions.
We’re pretty open-minded.

Deadline:  18th June, 2023
Word Limit: 1000-5000 words
