VANCOUVER, British Columbia - s4story -- A new anthology from Canada's renowned Ricepaper Magazine, this third collection in the Ricepaper Magazine series includes a wide range of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction by writers of Asian descent from across the world. The theme which binds the collection is "belief," a notion personal to each individual sharing a piece of themselves in their works.

"This book is a platform for both established and new writers to share their voices in a publishing landscape that is often difficult for racialized writers to navigate," co-editor Allan Cho comments. Co-editor JF Garrard adds, "In light of anti-Asian hate which has been occurring throughout the years and is only newsworthy now; we hope that this book allows people to better understand and feel empathy with the Asian community and to make a connection, since we all want to transform our society to be a better place."
