Nthanda Review is a Malawian online literary magazine. Nthanda Review publishes poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, folk tales, essays, and reviews of any length all year round.
The idea behind its creation is to provide a platform on which voices of different writers would be heard by the world. We publish works from Malawi and Africa as a whole. But we do not limit our outreach to just Africa, as such, anyone from across the world can contribute.
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.
