Make a submission for our upcoming anthology!

We believe in the power of storytelling to shine light in the darkest recesses, offering fresh perspectives and unearthing buried truths. This anthology is an opportunity for us to document our experiences of the last 4 years, and offer context for deeper understanding and empathy.

We want to read about your experiences and reflections on COVID, the war and ongoing conflicts in Ethiopia. Tell us what it's been like to live here amid chaos and uncertainty. Share your observations, moments that enraged and radicalized you, the things that have brought you hope or joy. Write about power, isolation, alienation, about making meaning, about the loss of language. This is an exercise in speaking up for each other and making our voices heard.

We offer financial compensation for your work. Send us a pitch by February 18th, 2024.
