Audio Recordings wanted...

27/2/2015

 
We received a submission from a talented blind artist a few days ago, and that inspired me to give BLJ an audio version. A discussion with Dr Fong has led to a quick decision to call for Audio Recordings of Issue 1's works. And I think it's a meaningful act because people with different needs could then enjoy the verses and stories more fully.

See the new ad posted in the Submission Page, with the same yelling boy, which has announced our new direction. Note the deadline for Audio submission (1 April 2015). I hope this brings even more colours to the publication.

Issue 2 is getting started...

24/2/2015

 
While I'm trying my best to widen the readership of the first issue of BLJ, our issue 2's call for submission ad has been posted at NewPages. I hope to see more great pieces coming in and that Issue 2 will be even a more fantastic collection than the first.

Approaching the end of the Chinese New Year holiday over here. Will meet my students again soon enough and I'll promote the journal in my professional context. Hope the boys (my school is a boys' school!) will love this magazine!

Happy Valentine's Day

14/2/2015

Valentine's Day is not just a cultural thing but a personal one. It might be celebrated through dining or just spending quality time with your family, friends, colleagues, children, pets and so on. As long as there's "love" involved in the bonding the spirit of the festival lives. Or if you prefer to spend the day with some good reads, I guess certain pieces from our first issue might offer a level of rhetorical romance, depending on your age, perspective, mood, room temperature...etc. 

Anyway, hope your day is wonderful and romantic and all. Here's a photo my girlfriend took for the roses I gave her tonight (Surely not one of those randomly circulating whatsapp images!). Have fun!
