Website updates
Forgot to note before everything else that Read or Die has been extensively overhauled. We’re up for a very busy year.
First off: Read or Die is soliciting submissions for the first four to five issues of Ladino, a literary weekly coming soon to an MRT station near you. Fiction, 2500 to 3000 words max per story, English or Filipino. I’m afraid the publication is non-paying but if you’ve got a story to spare and you wouldn’t mind sharing, please submit.
Secondly: We’re organizing Filipino Fantastic, a conference n experimental and interdisciplinary conference which deals with the fantastic in Filipino art, mythology, literature, comics and other media. The conference is scheduled to take place on August 2007. We’ve issued an open call for papers.
