Under the Southern Skies: Northern Mindanao Literary Anthology is now accepting works in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, scheduled for publication in December 2017.

The anthology is open to both established and emerging writers (1) who live in Northern Mindanao, (2) who live elsewhere but grew up in Northern Mindanao, or (3) have spent a good period of time in Northern Mindanao enough to inspire memories and feelings.

The editors are interested in pieces that evoke a strong sense of place, its landscapes, history, and diversity of cultures in Northern Mindanao — Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Bukidnon, Camiguin, and Lanao del Norte.

This project is spearheaded by the Department of English of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan in Cagayan de Oro City.
