Archipelagic Entanglements: Call for Submissions

Singapore Unbound have announced that they are accepting submissions for an upcoming collection titled ‘Archipelagic Entanglements.’ In May 2026, their literary journal SUSPECT will publish a portfolio of writing and art putting the Southeast Asian and Caribbean archipelagos in conversation. They are interested in short fiction, poetry and essays that explore the histories, presents, and futures of the archipelagos through the nodes of plantation, patois, and possibility. If you are writing from — or about — the Southeast Asian or Caribbean archipelagos, you are invited to submit work that ruminates on these nodes. Translations into English are welcome.

Submissions are totally free to make and are open until 1 March 2026. Accepted submissions will be paid a fee of $100.
