Writings from the Muslim World

I received an e-mail from Serene Taleb-Agha, the chief editor of a new online literary journal based in Damascus, Syria.

damazine is publishing fiction, poetry, and essays in English and looking for contributers from across the globe.

The focus is on the Muslim world:

... whether it forms the background of the writer, or an aspect of the piece itself. Within that space, we strive to present a rainbow of themes and writing styles. Our biggest criterion is quality. We are looking for powerful, well-crafted pieces that throb with meaning.

The first issue is due to be published on January 31, and details of how to submit your work can be found on the website.
