We don\u2019t need your cultural context explained to us. We start there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our editors understand the cultural landscape your work comes from \u2014 not as background information, but as the ground they stand on too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t charge submission fees. Our terms are transparent, our fees are set with local markets in mind, and if your work reaches international audiences, your earnings grow with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Submit your manuscript or proposal \u2014 tell us what you\u2019re writing, who it\u2019s for, and where you are in the process. We accept work at any stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work with editors who read with you, not against you \u2014 our editorial process is collaborative. Your voice doesn\u2019t get softened here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach readers who\u2019ve been waiting for your work \u2014 in print, digital, and through our institutional partnerships across the continent and beyond.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Publish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We publish fiction, non-fiction and children\u2019s books rooted in African cultures. We\u2019re not looking for a particular kind of African story \u2014 we\u2019re looking for writing that is honest, crafted and made to last. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re working on, we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff\">\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:.9\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"schedule-a-visit\" style=\"font-size:clamp(32.969px, 2.061rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 2.958), 59px);px;line-height:1.15\"><strong>This might be the right home for you.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"schedule-a-visit\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b0be8b0e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:submissions@afronautpress.com\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#000000\"><strong>Submit your work&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/submissions\/submissions-guidelines\/\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#000000\"><strong>Read our submissions guide&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":418,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-100","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":420,"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100\/revisions\/420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afronautpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
