QUORUM, Odinakachi Okoroafor, 2023

Every year, I chase publishers to submit books to Jhalak Prize and am always disheartened & enraged by their reluctance. Each year, amazing books are inexplicably not submitted their publishers decide they don't want to. Why is #publishing SO averse to celebrating their books?

✨CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS✨  We're inviting submissions in fiction, life writing, and poetry on the following themes until Friday, 22 November. ✏ Community, Solidarity, Justice  ✏ Healing & Repair  ✏ Dystopias & Aftermaths Submit your work: wasafiri.org/about/submit/
