Are you an African writer? Do you have manuscripts ready for publication? It is time to begin your journey to becoming a published author. Quramo Publishing Ltd. (QPL) is officially accepting entries for the 5th edition of its annual Quramo Writers’ Prize (QWP).
Created in 2017 as an avenue for fresh writers to showcase their manuscripts to the global literary community, and contribute their works to the canonization of Africa literature, the Quramo Writers’ Prize celebrates unpublished writers who are working every day to hone their craft and record our continent’s original stories. The prize aims to encourage and stimulate a new community of talented writers, providing an opportunity for otherwise unexposed talent to achieve publishing recognition and encouragement.
Currently, in its fifth year, the prize which was first won by Samuel Monye for Give Us Each Day, has gone on to produce amazing writers with equally brilliant debut novels across the continent.
Submissions will close on 30 April 2021. All submissions should be done online through the Quramo website, and must be an MS Word document formatted in Garamond font size 12, 1.5 line spacing, and left justified.
The winner of the Quramo Writers’ Prize will receive a remuneration of 1 million Naira and a development publishing deal for their manuscript.
