Founded in New York City in 2018, Accent Accent is a cross-border, multi-disciplinary platform devoted to hosting literary events, creating and supporting writing communities, and discovering and publishing new literary voices. Our team is primarily based in New York City. We have an offline bookstore and art space, Accent Sisters, in Jersey City. Our mission is to connect creators who identify as Chinese and of Asian heritage through various activities, including bilingual workshops, publishing, residencies, open calls, and art exhibitions. We endeavor to create a fluid, nomadic community that facilitates synergies across borders, languages, and media.
