Submissions Guidelines

We welcome submissions from our readers. Our preference is for new, unpublished work. Our natural constituency of writers and material are African or Diasporan (please interprete boldly) but we will publish any writer who writes into the African Condition (please interprete boldly). We are adventurous in our definition of Africana, but we will also publish good literature generally.

Please read us before submitting. If you are a poet, send a long poem or four smaller pieces. Essays, fiction, memoirs and other prose pieces should be 1,500 to 6000 words. Please attach a third person biography and a photograph. We aim to acknowledge submissions. Editorial decisions are usually made within a month.

We actively encourage the submission of literature in translation. We are keen to publish good writers who are not particularly familiar to readers in English.

We will not publish hate literature.

We do not currently pay for submissions. This policy is under constant review.

Please query before sending reviews. We are happy to receive books for review that may be of interest to our readers.

We are happy to publish event information of interest to the writing world. We are happy to receive advertising enquiries.

 


 

AFRICAN WRITING VOL 1 NO 2 SEPTEMBER 2007

The editorial focus in our next issue will be Black British Writing. There will be other contributions from writers in the African continent and elsewhere in the writing world. But we will mostly be enjoying, defining, discoursing and sampling the work of diasporic and expatriate African writers based in the United Kingdom. We will consider submissions for the September Issue, according to our stated guidelines. Photo stories, writer profiles, book reviews, interviews and critical essays may be submitted to the editor@african-writing.com. The submission deadline for the September edition is 12th August, 2007.

Welcome
