MANY TIMES people have asked us who we are. We prefer to tell them why we are:

There is a fire that lights when an African writes a story. It's effects reverberate with endless possibilities; Franchises, Careers, Livelihoods, Box-office successes.🔥

But this fire is a flickering flame. Threatened by many circumstances of the times. A lot goes into protecting this aspiring inferno, discovering, training and much more.

All that, you can leave to us. Ibua publishing will play the role of keeping the fire of the African story burning and alive.🔥

Our efforts notwithstanding, we ask that YOU, be a part of it. Help us give value back to the writers and the team that runs this initiative. How?

Subscribe to ibuajournal.com and unlock an assortment of African stories from cultures and writers all over the continent.🔥

Did you start yet? Writing? A week has gone by like a flash. The time’s never right it seems but the opportunity still stands.

Today, write; during your lunch break, just before bed, even while you have breakfast. Write, on your phone, in your journal, on your laptop, wherever you must, just write.

Is the idea stuck in your head with no outlet? Did you start writing and now it is a thousand words in and nowhere to go? Here is a technique we learned in our short fiction lab.

Make a Story Map
Who are you characters? What are they doing? Where is your story happening? What are the key events in your story? What is the crisis? How is it resolved? Is the crisis resolved?

Prompt 1: It is 4 am in the morning. The car won't start.
Prompt 2: Someone you haven't seen in many years texts you. A secret is revealed.
Prompt 3: Your cat dies from a mysterious illness. There is wailing at your window in the night.
Write a 2000- 3000 word story. DM it to Ibua socials or [email protected] under the heading 'August: I shall write'. Ibua reviewers' best selected story will be shared on Facebook.
