Kinaara

Kinaara is a monthly online literary magazine for the youth in South Asia and the diaspora. It aims to provide an opportunity for publication of chiefly writing – literary and sociological, fiction and non-fiction; and also art, photography and in-between compositions by young people who identify themselves or their work as South Asian.

Kinaara will never discriminate among its readers and/or contributors on the basis of race, caste, religion, nationality, place of birth, place of residence, gender, sexual preference, physical disability, academic qualification, occupation or political affiliation.

However:

• Kinaara is a youth magazine, and while we agree that the definition of youth is debatable, at Kinaara we maintain an upper age limit of 30 years for being accepted for submission.

• Kinaara is a magazine about South Asia, so we will only accept submissions from people who identify as South Asian and/or work that relates in any way to South Asia.

• Kinaara is a literary magazine, which means we are committed to a certain standard of quality in writing. If you are incapable of writing comfortably in English, please consider writing in any language you are comfortable in and getting your work translated to English by someone else. If you are incapable of writing comfortably in any language, perhaps being published in a magazine is not what you are looking for.
