ISSUE 1: What We’re Looking For [CLOSED]

ISSUE 1: What We’re Looking For [Please, read everything carefully]
This is an OPEN issue.

You can submit any form of original work — poetry, short fiction, CNF, art, or photography, based on any theme, topic or subject.

But there’s one condition…

Your work must be narrative-shifting.

We’re looking for pieces that shake things up. Works that challenge old perspectives, amplify new voices and reimagine the world we live in.

What does narrative-shifting mean to us?

Work that confronts stereotypes or silences

Work that centres underrepresented voices

Work that disrupts the status quo

Work that offers radical imagination, joy, or resistance

Works that bring Ghana to a new light, reimagined futures, etc

By all means, go bold, go different, do whatever you like; it is an open issue after all, but there should be some narrative shift (however best you decide to interpret that) underpinning—no matter how subtle or loud.

In essence:

If your work moves people to think differently, feel deeply, or see the world anew, we want it.

For this issue, we are seeking:

3 Fiction pieces

2 Creative Nonfiction (CNF) pieces

5 Poems

2 Art/Photography contributions

We accept submissions in English and Ghanaian languages (with English translations).
