CAVITE YOUNG WRITERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

PRESS RELEASE
July 19, 2008

    Sustaining its efforts to promote Caviteño literature and encourage the participation of Caviteño writers, readers and observers, the Cavite Young Writers Association is now accepting contributions for the second volume of its literary journal, Paliparan.

Ladino primarily accepts short fiction though we’re also open to one-shot comic submissions and poetry collections for our special issues. Please note, however, that Ladino is a two-page publication, printed on A4 paper (double-sided print, folded to A5), so we will naturally have space constraints.

If you are interested in submitting to Ladino, please observe the following guidelines:

1. Stories in Filipino and/or English are accepted.

2. Maximum number of words per story is 3000 (2500 is ideal).

-All kinds of literature written in any dialect is welcome
