A few days ago, Samrat Upadhyay sent us his shortlist for La.Lit’s first short story competition, Writing Nepal. We couldn’t keep it to ourselves for very long. So here we go, in no particular order except the alphabetical, the 7 shortlisted entries out of the 100+ we were flooded with:

Byanjana Thapa – Chamomile

Muna Gurung – Pep Talk

Niranjan Kunwar – Between Queens and the City

Prabhat Gautam – Flames and Fables

Pranaya Rana – The Presence of God

Samyak – Let The Rain Come Down

Sarahana Shrestha – Dolls in a Row

Congratulations to the shortlisters! We’ll be contacting you individually. And thanks to all the rest of you who took the trouble to submit – we were overwhelmed by your creativity and passion.

We hope to see many of you at our event on the 21st of June, when the winners will be announced by Samrat Upadhyay. Details will follow shortly.
