About
Founded in 2009 by Bjorn Wahlstrom, a Swede living in Shanghai, China, the independent English language publisher, H.A.L. Publishing is proud to announce its first international short fiction competition, The Big In China Short Fiction Competition. The purpose of this contest is to reach across the 16,000 miles (the author of this post is American, so if you want kilometers feel free to do the conversion yourself, we are Barbarians that way) between China and the North American continent so that HAL’s loyal readers can be privy to reading work from a larger cross section of writers, and so that new readers can discover HAL. We know of NO other contest like this in history. You can bridge the chasm of thousands of years of sometimes tenuous relations by participating in this historic literary event.
