Agbowó currently seeks submissions for their upcoming issue themed “The Woman Issue”. They are interested in works that explore the total scope of what it means to be a woman in today’s world. They ask: “What does it mean to be a woman in today’s world? How have the definitions and expectations evolved?”

“….When we say “Woman,” we speak of a know-how that encompasses the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and trials, the love and pain.”

To answer these questions, they welcome at most three poems, one-act plays, one short story or essay, or five artworks for consideration.

As a special” issue, the editors will be working alongside a guest editor,  Kéchi Nne Nomu.

Only women are eligible.

Deadline for submissions is 1st October 2023.

Agbowó is an African literary magazine dedicated to “its promise of providing a platform for creative Africans to reach a global audience.” Read more about their call for submission here
