Hi Kwani ,

I have stuff on a historical epoch (In my experience ) , near -true -stories (fiction based on real happenings ) and some poems .
Tell me how i can start the process of publishing and the best options . Keep up the good work .

Njuguna – please send your work to our editors via submissions@kwani.org
Thanks
It’s been a minute. After many days of hiding out in the straitjacket of an attempt at normal life I am now back, and shall be seeking out those of my ilk. Great to know that Kwani? has kept the fire burning long after we had our flame extinguished in the vagaries of the grind of day to day life. I shall definitely be in attendance.
