PUBLISH’D AFRIKA Adopt-An-Author Program

A Call For Submissions 2025

Each year, PUBLISH'D AFRIKA Online Literary Magazine sponsors the editing, proofreading, manuscript development and ultimately publication of six aspiring authors’ works, at no cost to them. Yes, for absolutely free! These are aspiring authors that we identify independently, whose works in our opinion stand out and show promise. The authors also have to be willing to be mentored further on the craft.
This year, the indications are that we will increase the number to 10 writers. In March 2026, these gifted scribes will join the PUBLISH’D AFRIKA Magazine’s annual Spoiling The Broth anthology (Volume 4) launch and workshop, where a number of industry experts will further help to hone their craft.
The idea is not only to help the 10 writers to publish their books, but to also inculcate in them the skills to build a fan base, and to develop themselves into brands synonymous with literature.
