Turkey Anthology - What's Your Story?

Springtime Books is excited to announce our latest project – an (as yet unnamed) anthology of expat life in Turkey – which we hope to publish this year. Are you a current or former Turkey expat? Perhaps you've been a regular visitor over a number of years. If so, we'd love to hear your story.

The Brief

We're looking for expat life and times in Turkey – human tales and anecdotes which are funny, sad, touching or just plain wacky. Ideally, we’d like pieces of about 1,500-2,000 words. This is a ballpark, not a rule. Shorter pieces are fine too. A few well-chosen images and illustrations that tie into this theme are welcome as well, but they need to be good quality and in B&W. We’re not looking for tourist-type pieces. We want to keep the book up close and personal. And we're not looking for anything overtly political.
