AFREADA is a literary magazine featuring stories from writers and creatives across Africa. A fusion of the two words ‘Africa’ and ‘reader’, we live for the well-crafted narratives and effortless reads that speak to our daily realities as Africans at home and abroad.

We shape our publication around the stories you want to tell, so there’s no need to write towards a particular theme, but we would encourage you to spend some time reading some of our stories to familiarise yourself with what we’ve published so far. 

Incredible magazines from across the African continent. These publications showcase diverse African voices and perspectives in literature and deserve wider recognition.
