Word's been gettng around about ‘Where The Stars Rise: Asian Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories–An Anthology Project with A Cause.’ This is an anthology project by Laksa Media seeking short speculative fiction of no more than 7,000 words.

According to the organizers:
"This speculative fiction anthology will contain original stories to celebrate Asian diversity, featuring an Asian main character, Asian setting and/or some amount of Asian elements, by authors with an Asian heritage.

They welcome translated story from other languages to English (no English reprints).

Contributors will be paid CAN 6 cents per word. A portion of Laksa Media’s net revenue from this anthology will go directly to support one of the programs provided by Kids Help Phone.
