Cukaria returns

The essay portal Cukaria, which went offline in 2019, is now back and looking for submissions.

The editors are seeking short works of fiction (between 500-1,200 words) that will be published every Friday on the Cukaria site, with successful entries being eligible for an honorarium of six Buku Fixi books.

The revamped Cukaria is also seeking review entries for its new Ulasan section, also between 500-1,200 words. These reviews can be of single short stories or collections, preferably those accessible online.

Submissions, in Word format, can be sent to cukariaonline@gmail.com. For more information, see Cukaria’s Twitter page.
