Submit a manuscript

Cassava Republic Press publishes novels, short story collections, creative non-fiction and children’s books. Since we only produce around eight books each year, what we publish reflect the specific tastes and interests of our small team. We are most interested in stories that explore a diversity of contemporary experiences in Africa and the diaspora, in an original, engaging, inspiring and empowering way.  We are especially interested in submissions by women and those that explore uncharted areas in African letters: diverse sexualities and contemporary urban experience. We do not publish self-help, management or religious books. We only publish poetry by our existing authors, but we hope to publish poetry in the future and we will publish poetry online.

Our submission system is currently closed

We currently have quite a few manuscripts in the pipeline.  As we are a small publisher and only publish a limited number of books each year, this means we will have to close our manuscript submission system for a while.  Please check this page later in the year.  Thanks for your understanding.  We hope your writing goes well and look forward to opening up our submission process as soon as possible.
