We are pleased to announce the publication of the Our Stories Redefined Anthology 2022 (flash fiction edition). The anthology celebrates new-age African writing, a vehicle for new-age African writers to tell their stories to a generation that understands them.
In this 2022 edition, the stories focus on Afro-modernity and Afro-futurism, mainly familial and societal relationships. It is a collection of souls wishing to be understood in a chaotic and complex environment born out of years of conditioning.
The characters in this anthology struggle with one problem or another, a mirror of our society. It is not a collection of cynical characters but characters who have refused to drown in the world’s cynicism.
The anthology drew participants from four (4) African countries, viz. Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, the same as in the 2021 (poetry) edition. We appreciate and thank all the participants who contributed to our 2022 edition. However, we received more submissions than in 2021.
The anthology is available on Amazon and Kindle, PDF (Mystery Bookstore), and Paperback (Nuria Bookstore in Nairobi, AfriReads Bookshop in Eldoret, and Ereto Bookshop in Nakuru).
