As part of EXPOUND’s aim of reengineering African Literature by bridging the differences between writings from Africa and other parts of the world, in short, universalizing African literature, we are pleased to present our annual Special Issue.
Our Special issue for 2015 is ‘The Erotic Issue’. As the title suggested, it will be a compilation of erotic arts from African artists, this will include nonfiction, short fiction, poetry, graphic arts, paintings and photography. We are looking for works either rigid or soft that are bold, sensual, amatory, daring and can go a very dirty way with us to break norms, forms and boundaries.
There are few guidelines you should bear in mind, we have them listed below. However, the DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS OCTOBER 31st, 2015. You will be notified on the status of your submission by November 9th, 2015.
