Proverse Hong Kong is based in Hong Kong with long-term and expanding regional and international connections.

The International Proverse Prize for Unpublished Non-fiction, Fiction and Poetry and the International Proverse Poetry Prize for single poems, for work submitted and previously unpublished in English, are open to all irrespective of residence, citizenship or nationality.

The Publishers were born in the UK and have lived and worked in many countries. They visit, from time to time, Australia, Europe, Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the USA.

We welcome enquiries for co-published editions.

Hong Kong today does not really look like the tranquil scene above, but it's fun to remember!

PLEASE NOTE: For best results, when reading pdf documents (there are several on this website), it is important to have the latest pdf reader, available free from
