About The Author

The contributors to this anthology are all members of the Women in Publishing Society (WiPS), an international group of women based, or previously based, in Hong Kong who are either involved or interested in some aspect of publishing. They are writers, poets, artists, photographers, illustrators, editors, proofreaders, copywriters, graphic designers, journalists, publishers, and simply women who enjoy the written word.

Overview

Each year, WiPS invites its members to submit examples of their best work for publication in its annual anthology, "IMPRINT". Now in its twenty-third year of publication, the anthology has received stories and artwork on an extraordinary range of topics from more than fifty talented members. While most are still based in Hong Kong, many are now scattered throughout Asia, Europe, North America and Australia. Hong Kong is a city alive with cultural richness and creative energy and has launched many who call, or once called, Hong Kong “home” into establishing themselves within its vibrant literary and artistic community.

Imprint 23 will take you to places in and outside of Hong Kong that the guidebooks don’t. From poetry to prose, watercolour to wit, fables and photographs, its pages brim with verve and vitality!

Description

Released in early March 2025, the latest issue of Women in Publishing Society’s annual anthology, Imprint, offers a cornucopia of well-crafted originality with new fiction, memoir, poetry, essays, artwork and humour. The collection celebrates the more than three decades of WiPS in Hong Kong and is a tribute to the resilience and passion of the women shaping Hong Kong’s literary landscape. With a focus on this amazing city, Imprint will appeal to anyone with an interest in or a connection with what is a historically fascinating and ever-changing gateway to China.

Imprint 23 makes a GREAT and affordable souvenir gift!
