Calling all translators of Southasian fiction!
Himal Fiction Fest 2026 seeks original English-language translations of fiction new or old from any Southasian language. We welcome translations of short stories or of excerpts from longer works.
Guidelines: Send your translations (1500-4000 words) to editorial@himalmag.com with the subject line “<your name> – Fiction Fest 2026”
Your translation must be previously unpublished. The submission email should include a short note introducing the original text you have translated, identifying its copyright status and showing proof of translation permission from the copyright holder where copyright on the original work has not lapsed.
