Good Morning!

At the recent Kalapa Assembly, a great number of "collaborations" were held. One of these collaborations, between a group of dedicated creative writers, resulted in a resolution to create an on-line literary journal by, for, and of the international Shambhala community. This journal, it is hoped, will encourage writers to write, readers to read, and provide a virtual forum for writers, readers, editors, and agents.

As editor of NAMTHAR, the new on-line Shambhala Literary E-Journal, I respectfully and delightedly request submissions of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry in any language by July 15th--ed.] All members of Shambhala International may submit, in any language. Submissions will remain property of the author.

Upon receiving your first issue of NAMTHAR, please realise that nearly all submissions will be accepted. You may therefore read as many or few of submissions as you would like. Also, you may prefer to print the issue rather than reading it on-screen.
