So thrilled to share this expat lit news!
Katherine Belliel and Rose Margaret Deniz, (Expat Harem book and blog writers you'll recognize whom I've had the privilege and pleasure of working with for many years) are now calling for submissions to their new anthology for expat women writers who've lived in Turkey.
It's called Expat Sofra: A Gathering of Foreign Voices Around the Turkish Table.
As they explain,
"Follow in the footsteps of Tales from the Expat Harem by going deep into personal, introspective experiences that have a love and respect for the local culture and traditions.
"Sofra invites you to a second course by taking a seat at the Turkish table.
"Just as the sofra is the heart of the Turkish hearth, we want stories that are steeped in the experience of being an expat in Turkey. The editors have a combined twenty-five years in Turkey and are editing this compilation of essays to give back to the culture that has nourished their lives abroad."
If you've lived in Turkey for at least a year, or know someone who has, take a look at the call for submissions, open to April 1, 2015.
