OPEN SUBMISSIONS: LONTAR The Journal of Southeast Asian Speculative Fiction


LONTAR: A Literary Journal of Southeast Asian Speculative Fiction is open to submissions on a rolling basis. 

Established in 2012 by Singapore-based writer Jason Erik Lundberg, Lontar has already published two issues under Math Paper Press, and with a third issue already on the way under Epigram Books.

“All the writing is surprising and fascinating. As a reader, some knowledge of the region helps, but is not necessary. The great thing about LONTAR is the broad range of speculative fiction showcased here with a guaranteed burst of Southeast Asian culture. [...] LONTAR has produced quality, intricate and original work that entertains and distills a yearning in the reader for more.” —The Review Review
