Eastlit: Top Asian Creative Writing post. Eastlit March 2014 Cover. The cover was designed by Graham Lawrence. The cover picture is "Vientiane Flags". It is by Graham Lawrence. Copyright Eastlit and Artist.We continue to look at the top Asian creative writing published in Eastlit in 2014. Past posts on top Asian creative writing are: top reads, popular writing, top ten, latest popular literature, hot eastern literature and of course the well read 2013 top twenty. These posts continue to be some of the best read at Eastlit, so we feel honour bound to continue them. This one on Top Asian Creative Writing covers the early March period.

This Top Asian Creative Writing post covers the top 5 in the last seven and thirty days as well as updating our all time top Asian creative writing list. There continues to be movement in the all time list with some new entries. There are also several pieces very close to entering this list too! The massive year on year growth in readership helps more recent pieces of work rise up the rank quickly.

As is traditional, the Top Asian Creative Writing list is of submissions of work by contributors. Other pages and posts such as interviews, Eastlit main pages, editorials, Eastlit covers, regular columns and news items are not included. Again I do not include direct hyperlinks to each piece. This could affect fairness by directing traffic! However, as usual I have listed the issue each piece appeared in. It is easy from this to use the archive page to find past issues of Eastlit journal. More recent issues can also be found in the navigation bar at the top of the page. It’s also an idea to take a look at some of the less read pieces. You may find a personal gem in them. A piece in the top ten may not mean it is the best, and everyone has different tastes 😉

OK. Enough here are the Top Asian Creative Writing in Eastlit lists for March 2014:
