The Likhaan: UP Institute of Creative Writing (ICW) is now accepting contributions for the 18th issue of Likhaan: The Journal of Contemporary Philippine Literature. The journal will be made available later in the year through online platforms: a dedicated website, Google Drive, and the UP Diliman Journals Online archives. Printed copies will not be available for sale.

The Philippines’ leading literary peer-reviewed journal, the Likhaan Journal is published annually with funding from the University of the Philippines. It features the best of new and unpublished Philippine writing in English and Filipino, and is open to all Filipinos, whether based in the country or based abroad. Submissions to the journal undergo a strict pre-screening and double-blind refereeing process by both the editors and a panel of referees composed of eminent writers and critics from within and outside UP.
