    Lime Pickled and Other Stories by Marc de Faoite

    Announcing the imminent arrival of our new baby, Lime Pickled and Other Stories by Marc de Faoite. Leopard Print is proud to have a unique East-West author on board. We first published Marc’s short story Banu in Asian Anthology New Writing Vol. 1. Equally nostalgic yet nightmarish, Lime Pickled is a short story collection set in a fictional Malaysia on the murky themes of exploitation, ecological damage, poverty, abuse and loss.  Nefarious characters and the oppressed interact in modern Asia’s richly-textured familiar and amoral setting. At once dark and surreal yet heartwarming, this collection was written during the author’s 15-year stint in Malaysia and hits hard in many ways. Marc de Faoite’s gritty and satirical…

    Asian Anthology: New Writing Vol. 1 Leopard signs 22 new authors in ’22

    Asian Anthology: New Writing Vol. 1 is hopefully called Volume 1 for a reason: that it will be the first of many anthologies and not just Asian-themed. Leopard Print’s objective is to hear international new voices, and to give them a chance to be published in London. Writers of any nationality or gender were eligible to submit, in keeping with Leopard Print’s inclusion and diversity policy. The 22 authors signed came from Malaysia, Singapore, India, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Serbia, Austria, France, United Kingdom and United States of America.
