Who we are
We focus on Africentric writings and how they impact African people on the African continent and in the Diaspora.
We aim at bringing to the fore the many untold stories that enrich African lives; stories that have a bearing on Africans and their contribution to the global village.
If you have written an African-related story, the chance is that we can publish it. It could be a play, poetry, drama, novel or any such form of artistic creation that captures imagination, entertains and teaches a lesson. What we offer is insightful guidance in the writing process, editing and (eventually) publication.
We also welcome works in form of memoirs, research findings, academic paper collections, text books for schools or any such works.
