Mukana is accepting submissions for our third cohort of titles. We seek to champion authors from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds with a focus on authors from Africa, South America, The Middle East and Asia. 

For our 2024  Anthology of African stories, we are looking for stories of  joy. Africa's stories have long been stories of war, abuse, poverty, death and suffering. We seek stories of friendships, love, strong familial bonds, nostalgic school days, mischief, superstition, spies, whatever allows us to tell an alternative story. We want a collection that will make our readers laugh, smile and giggle or be bewildered by your protagonists. Send us your spooky ghost stories, and your quirky villains. We want a vibrant lively collection! The subject matter might be heavy, but if your protagonist has a unique voice, that can turn a somber subject into thriller, then we want to hear from you!

Mukana Press publishes full length books (short story collections, memoirs and novels -YA and Adult). Mukana does not publish self-help books, picture books and previously self-published books. We are not accepting any poetry submissions for this reading period.
