A warm welcome to Hong Kong Women in Publishing Society (WiPS).
We are an international group of women based, or previously based, in Hong Kong who are either involved in or interested in some aspect of publishing. We’re writers, poets, artists, photographers, illustrators, editors, proofreaders, copywriters, graphic designers, journalists, publishers, or quite simply people who enjoy the written word.
Come join us and meet like-minded people at our events. Engage with our speakers. Join our Facebook group for more publishing related news, job opportunities and projects before they hit the classifieds. Or, just come along to our regular social networking evenings.
As members of our society, you can increase your visibility by being listed in our MEMBERS’ DIRECTORY. You also have the opportunity to be featured online in:
- MEMBERS’ SHOWCASE – a platform where members can display a newly released book or exhibited artwork
- WOMAN AT WORK – a chance for members to share their creative journeys, introduce their work or their businesses, and in doing so inspire others
- FACEBOOK – an opening for discussion and for members to promote any personal publishing related event
If you’ve always wanted to see your name in print, now’s your chance. WiPS members have the opportunity to be published in IMPRINT, our annual anthology written and produced entirely by members (and sold at major bookshops in Hong Kong).
“Just received my copy of IMPRINT 20. It’s a lovely production, beautifully illustrated, and the cover is stunning.” – Gillian Kew, Imprint contributor
“[While] easing back into solitary [covid] confinement, I was really pleased to receive my IMPRINT 20 and love how it looks and feels, the paper feels more down-to-earth and homey. Congratulations on another wonderful issue!” – Maureen Tai, Writer and Imprint contributor
Our Next Events
The 21st issue of Women in Publishing Society’s annual anthology, Imprint, was released in March 2023 and offers an exciting collection of new fiction, essays, memoir, poetry, travelogue, commentary, humour and artwork from almost FIFTY of our members. Celebrating Imprint’s coming of age and over 30 years of WiPS, this latest, attractive issue with its focus on our amazing city makes a GREAT and affordable Hong Kong souvenir present for family and friends.
“Women of WiPS: please keep writing about our beloved city – whether your words delight or distress, these are the memories that we will one day cherish.”
