Call for Submissions – Fijian Christmas Stories 🎄

Kulawai Press is inviting warm, joyful, and unforgettable tales that capture the true spirit of a Fijian Christmas. We’re looking for short stories between 500–1000 words that showcase the heart, humor, and heritage of how Christmas is celebrated across our islands.

From family lovo lunches under mango trees to last-minute shopping frenzies in town, from carol singing through villages to splashing water on friends, dancing into the night, and lighting fireworks that shake the sky—we want stories that celebrate the traditions, laughter, and moments that make Christmas in Fiji so unique.

Tell us about the old man who becomes Santa each year, the aunties who argue over whose cassava pudding is best, or the Christmas where everything went hilariously wrong—but the love remained. Whether rooted in personal memory, community customs, or a touch of festive fiction, we want to capture the Fijian Christmas spirit for readers of all ages.

📘 This will be a collection of stories that bind together our festive traditions, island joy, and tropical cheer—a celebration of Christmas, the Fijian way.

🎁 Prizes:
🥇 1st Place – $250 + Publication
🥈 2nd Place – $150 + Publication
🥉 3rd Place – $100 + Publication
✨ Next Top 10 Stories – Publication + Author Copies

📅 Deadline: December 15th, 2025

👉 Submit your story to [email protected] and help us share the magic of a Fijian Christmas with the world.

📣 Call for Submissions – Horror Short Stories 🩸

Kulawai Press is seeking spine-chilling tales that linger long after the last page. We’re looking for short stories between 500–1000 words in the horror genre.

From the eerie stories your grandmother whispered to keep you in line, to the chilling tales of Daucina and spirits that roam village paths at night, to the strange happenings at crossroads, rivers, and graveyards—these are the stories that shape how we understand fear. Add to that the urban legends drifting through Suva’s streets—the ghostly figures in government buildings, the whispers of Queen’s Road, the shadows that cling to the seawall at midnight.

We want to capture all of Fiji’s eerie tales in one book—a collection that binds together our shared folklore, myths, and modern hauntings in print for generations to come.

💀 Prizes:
🥇 1st Place – $250 + Publication
🥈 2nd Place – $150 + Publication
🥉 3rd Place – $100 + Publication
✨ Next Top 10 Stories – Publication + Author Copies

📅 Deadline: December 1st, 2025

Send us your best, scariest work—and claim your place among the storytellers who dare to haunt the page.

👉 Submit today at [email protected] and let the shadows speak.
