Saraba Magazine has opened submissions for two distinct categories: new unpublished work for its general submissions round, and previously published work for a newly launched archival initiative called the Revival Project. The deadlines differ — June 30 for general submissions and August 31 for the Revival Project — and both are open now.

The general submissions round is straightforward: fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, all unpublished. Prose submissions should not exceed 5,000 words. Poetry may be submitted as up to three poems in a single document. Saraba is also open to visual art, including photography and illustration.

The Revival Project is the more unusual of the two calls, and arguably the more urgent. It is a multi-phase archival and editorial initiative aimed at reclaiming, digitising, and celebrating significant African writing that is currently inaccessible to the modern digital reader, the essay published in a 2009 print-only magazine, the short story buried behind a journal paywall, the poem from a literary magazine that has since folded. If you have work that was published and then disappeared from reach, Saraba wants it. Fiction, poetry, and nonfiction are all welcome.
