Why Join The Oracle Africa?
3 reasons why
The Oracle Africa endeavours to be the home for an exciting mix of African literature from writers with varied levels of experience. We offer our writers 3 things:
1. A platform & home for your work
Finding the right audience for your work is imperative if you want people to enjoy and connect to what you create. The Oracle Africa’s focus is written work that directly or indirectly relates to Africa or the African identity and experience.
So if you have stories about your childhood, social commentary about an existing issue, or anything relating to Africa or the African identity and experience, we have a home for your work with an excited and expecting audience.
2. Growth
The opportunity to share your work and get feedback from readers will inevitably lead to growth. Every single time you do this, the writer in you is growing, progressing and getting better.
If you’re going through a shortage of ideas to write on, don’t worry. We will provide writing prompts, themes and challenges to help you break out of your box and explore ideas.
This will challenge you, bring to light a version of yourself you never knew existed and allow you to explore the unexplored parts of your mind.
3. Community & Connection.
There’s a huge chance you’ll find a community of writers. People you can interact with and learn and draw inspiration from. There’s also this sense of kinship when you find people who relate to your complaints about writer’s block or the anxiety of sharing your work.
You might also find that person (or people) who connects to your work on a mind blowing level–an actual fan.
But you’ll realise none of these if you never try. And when you try, don’t stop trying. Consistency and patience will give you the results you seek. So head over to our Submission Guidelines page and get started!
