A short story anthology celebrating TA’s Centenary

In April 2009 it will be exactly 100 years since a group of Jews assembled on a beach north of Jaffa to draw lots for plots in Ahuzat Bayit, a planned residential neighborhood later renamed Tel Aviv.
From this modest beginning, Tel Aviv has grown into a frenetic, cosmopolitan metropolis by the sea, with over 300,000 inner city residents, and over 1 million in the Greater Tel Aviv area.
To mark the city’s centenary in 2009, Ang-Lit.Press, an English-language publishing house based in Tel Aviv, is printing an anthology of short stories set in Tel Aviv. The stories, between 600-3000 words, must be fiction and written in English.
Though Tel Aviv is the “theme” of the anthology, the selection criterion is literary merit, i.e. not a travelogue, but a good story well told, with Tel Aviv as a backdrop (think Dublin in The Dubliners not Ulysses ). Submissions can be sent to ang_lit.press@yahoo.com , but attachments must be accompanied by an email that contains the author’s full name, address, phone number, and nationality. Authors whose stories are chosen for inclusion will be informed by August 1, 2008 at the latest, of the terms and conditions, and expected to provide a short biography and photo for publication. No submissions before May 1, 2007 or after July 31, 2008.
