Saraba is interested in writers working out of Nigeria, whose work show tremendous promise but have hardly been published in a major literary magazine.

We accept works on any theme and style. So, you do not really have to familiarize yourself with the works we publish. Just read them for the love of literature. Contributors can submit to multiple categories. However, only submit once to each category until you have received our decision about your piece.
Submissions must be emailed to submissions@nthandareview.com with the subject line indicating the genre/category of your submission. All inquiries must be emailed to info@nthandareview.com. We do not pay contributors. The best we can do is to offer you the publishing space, for the love of literature and mankind.
