The publishers of Saraba say, "Our publications reflect and represent the best of emerging writing
mainly from Nigeria, but also from the rest of the African continent.
Our goal is to give emerging writers the opportunity of having their
works published. “Emerging writers” is defined loosely, to spark useful
dialogue—but we are interested in writers whose work show tremendous
promise but have hardly been published in a major literary magazine."
And I believe them. So send your work!
