Efiko Magazine Submissions is Open/ How to Apply (Pay: N30,000)
Efiko Magazine is calling on African writers of prose, poetry and essays to submit to their 7th issue.
EFIKO is an online literary magazine with a focus on Africa as both place and perspective. It is the definitive publication for bookish folks interested in Africa. Ladi Opaluwa and Oris Aigbokhaevbolo founded the magazine with the aim of bringing the best writing from and about the continent to readers.
For their third issue, they are seeking poems, short stories, and essays of the highest quality from writers of African origin based anywhere in the world or anyone writing about Africa. Ensure your submission is properly edited before the deadline.
Eligibility Guidelines for Efiko Magazine Submission
Length: poetry–2 to 5 poems totalling 10 pages; short story and essay–1,200 to 5,000 words. Learn about writing short stories to help your submission.
Manuscript: typeset in Times New Roman, 12 points, double-spaced, with numbered pages.
Submission Guidelines
- Please email your submission as a Word document attachment to submissions@efikomag.com.
- Indicate the genre of your submission in the subject line of your email.

- Include a 5-line biography in the body of the email. Learn how to write an exquisite bio for yourself.
- They allow simultaneous submissions.
- Submit only one piece per issue.

Payment
For contributors with a Nigerian bank account, Efiko pays 30,000 naira for 2 or more poems and for prose over 2,500 published words. Accepted submissions below these numbers attract 20,000 naira. They process payments upon publication of the contributor’s work. For now, due to inter-country money transfer issues, contributors with non-Nigerian bank accounts will choose and receive a novel or nonfiction book (from selected African authors), if Amazon delivers to their country. The value of the book (with processing) is capped at $35.
Submissions will close on November 22nd.

Goodluck.
