My Commonwealth-longlisted story was named a finalist for the Porter House Review Editor’s Prize for Fiction and will be published on May 26th. I can’t wait for you all to read it. In the meantime, read “Wings” by Peter Schlachte — sharp, haunting and truly unforgettable.

our May publications featuring works from Alhassan Mohammed, Richeal Barnes, & K. Asare-Bediako (K. Asare-Bediako) is up! please tell a friend to tell a friend! nentajournal.com/home-1

my working theory is that creative people already have the idea for their life’s work years before they find the right form factor to express it

Good morning everyone. I'm pleased to announce that I emerged as the cowinner of the 2024 Poetry ColumnNND Chapbook Awards. Grateful to the judges for believing in the merit of my work. Please, celebrate with me 🍷

i'm so observant & so wordy (on a good day) but i've never had perfect words to match my most profound experiences. i can only carve around them for form [read words] but words have limits & a lot of the time i'd be more convincing showing you rather than telling you...

One of my favourite paragraphs too 😭❤️ I really enjoyed writing this one, even though it tormented me lol.

Read Argo: Moses Writes to a young Gertrude Stein by Ema Babikwa from Uganda, now available in Culture Africa Magazine Issue 1. To get yourself a copy, click ➡️ patreon.com/cultureafrica/…

strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fict… If you’re anything like me—swept up in the chaos of life and somehow missed Rat and Finch Are Friends—do yourself a favour and read it now. It’s tender, charming, and quietly unforgettable. I couldn’t stop whispering, “Aww,” as each moment unfolded. ❤️

The winner of the 2025 Afritondo Short Story Prize is Gift Nyoni for his short story, "Heat". The judges said: 'This is writing that achieves what good stories do: it makes you want to share it with someone and tell them, "Here, you must read this!"' Congratulations Gift🎉

as beautiful as that record is, Cranes in the Sky destroys me now. bc I def tried to do all those things. whew

This prize is so incredibly important to me! My first submission to an African competition. To be read, judged & selected by other African writers. To win at my first proper attempt at writing short fiction. Representing the country of my birth. My heart is full!!

IV. It was a point in my life where I’d CRY listening to the song. Like sisterrrrrrrr. I feel seen. felt. heard.

happy mother's day ❤️
