    Want to write with us?

    We are interested in stories that focus on all issues of migration and how Africans experience it. This is not necessarily an under-reported migration story of Africans in the diaspora, but a story that captures the different faces of moving and migration to Africans in Africa. We try to cover refugee, border, and migrant survival issues. We love to see a blend of data and the human angle to these stories.

    Our writers live in and out of Africa.

    If you want to write with us, get in touch. Please refer to our existing stories to see the kind of writing we seek. We hope to use our writing to impact both the people and the authorities, as well as reach more readers who would ordinarily not have access to read and understand in a very technical manner. Regardless of how we yearn to use data and research to tell our stories, we want it to be as easy as possible.

    Get in touch. Tell us what you want to write about. You can email [email protected] with a paragraph-long pitch that will be in the body of your email. Also, let us know if you have written the topic already.

    *Rates for articles and special projects are discussed with our Managing Editor.*

    PASSAGES

    PASSAGES is a space for deeply personal and reflective storytelling that captures the lived experiences of migration, belonging, home, displacement, and identity. PASSAGES as a name- reflects both the significance of journeys and the power of writing. We want to hear the stories that shaped you, the moments of loss, love, discovery, and everything in between. This column will serve as a home for all musings on migrancy. Through PASSAGES, we want to approach migrant storytelling that is raw, true, and persuasive.

    If you have a story to tell, we would love to feature your work. We are accepting:

    • Personal essays, memoir-style reflections, or creative nonfiction that resonate with our overaching theme of African related migrations.
    • Length: 800–1,500 words.
    • Format: First-person narrative, memoir, or essay.
    • How to submit: Send your piece along with a short bio to [email protected].
