‘amaBooks Publishers are looking for short stories for a joint publication with Parthian Books of Wales. The launch date for the book is 1 March 2009.
There is no set length for the pieces, or any theme. We would prefer pieces that reflect life in Zimbabwe, and that are accessible to and have meaning for readers in the United Kingdom.
The final deadline for submissions is 31 August 2008, though we would be delighted to receive as many pieces as possible before then.
Please email submissions to amabooks@gator.co.zw. Unfortunately ‘amaBooks are not in a position to acknowledge receipt of submissions and only those whose pieces are chosen for the publication will be contacted. Copyright for the stories will remain with the author.

I have a student friend in India who writes 'real life' short stories (some 'chilling'). Would a submission from him be welcome?
