A tri-monthly magazine that publishes speculative fiction from Africa and the African diaspora.



We focus on stories, art and essays that explore the rich cultural heritage of the continent and its people, while also embracing the fantastical and imaginative elements of science fiction, fantasy, and other genres.

Omenana magazine has featured a wide range of voices and perspectives, from established authors to new and emerging talent.

Omenana aims to promote and celebrate the diversity and richness of African speculative fiction and poetry, and to provide a platform for writers to share their stories and ideas with a global audience.

“But Africans don’t do speculative fiction!”

This is something a lot of us interested in speculative fiction have heard many times. And in a world where stereotypes have a way of taking flight and travelling, it is now almost accepted as fact.


We want art, fiction, and non-fiction from artists and writers from Africa and the African Diaspora. If you are unsure whether that includes you, please read this definition by the African Speculative Fiction Society about who is African for clarity.

Check out the all-time most popular speculative fiction literary magazines. These publications have a long-standing reputation for quality speculative fiction.
