The Open Arts is calling on women writers from Northern Nigeria to submit their manuscripts for publication. Genres include fiction and nonfiction in either English or Hausa alongside a brief biographical note to biba@openartsworld.org with the subject line “2024- Manuscript.”

Manuscripts should have a word count of about 60,000 and not more than 120, 000 words long.

Submissions open until 31 May, 2024.

The Open Arts Project Overview:

Selected women writers from Northern Nigeria will be paid a token for their manuscripts, benefit from intensive workshops, mentorship programmes, networking opportunities, and literary events, and will have their books published in either English or Hausa to a global audience.
