Welcome to the Asian Writers’ Collective

Asian Writers’ Collective is a publication committed to uplifting and amplifying Asian writers from all over the world, regardless of audience size. Asians are historically known as the quiet ones who hesitate to bring attention to themselves. We aim to change that narrative. Here, we provide a space for the uniqueness of Asian voices and perspectives to be heard and celebrated.

Asia is a vast continent, with numerous countries, cultures, and ethnicities. We will feature writers from all over the world.
