Litmags shouldn't just publish issues and leave it at that. We need marketing. Influencers. Reviewers. Brand ambassadors. Pubs need to be treated same way novels are. Our value lies not in publishing, but in getting read globally. That's why you should support them. ✨

Using AI to write is the best way to kill your growth as a writer. It will help you write faster, but that speed will come at the expense of growth. You won't reach the great heights if you do not have the patience to sit on an article and write it bit by bit for hours.

University writing communities and workshops are highly underfunded. It's not that there's no money. Brands would rather sponsor fresher's party, fyb party, dinner night, etc than give a penny to a workshop. Which is why so many writers workshops are barely hanging on a thread.

To all boys called Effeminate out there, don't ever feel ashamed of how you choose to express your masculinity. Paint your nails, make your braids, wave your hands, cross your legs. DO YOU!

So I started with Tomorrow I become a woman. The storytelling is so beautiful. It's not a complex novel, but its simplicity is what makes it alluring. I'm in page 116 now! Hoping to be done by dusk tomorrow 😌 P. S Mama Uju and Gozie are idiots sha #WritingCommunity #booktwt

It’s a new week! I have a question for you, especially you that loves books. Here is the question: Which fictional world from an African novel would you love to visit? For me, it is “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. @africanwriters_ @ChimamandaReal @WritersDigest

@Sapphire_E9 The nature of Igbo language is highly metaphorical. It's why igbos are great storytellers Only an Igbo man, instead of saying Don't kill your son, would say, "That child that calls you father, do not have a hand in his death". The way they speak English reflects their language

"I think if you start from the end, then we could get the depressing part out of the way and get to the good stuff when he still lived" This piece got me into tears. I had to fight to read to the end. So sorry for your loss, Patrick ❤️

A year ago, my friend Steve passed away. And through mourning, I wrote a piece, that is now published in @IseleMagazine 's "Grief" Issue. I hope you can relate, and connect and feel whole with "Not... a eulogy". Thank you to Isele and the whole team🙏🏾❤️

So I just finished reading Tomorrow I become a woman. I have nothing to say other than @aiwahannah , you'll have to pay for the tissues I used while reading this. I low-key wish we could get a sequel where Akin and Uju get married, against the wishes of the powerful Gozie.

For example, instead of "Sarah was a tall woman with fiery red hair and eyes that sparkled with mischief." you can say, "Sarah strode into the room, her fiery red hair bouncing with each confident step."

@twreadingclub I've read some of his plays. I found them quite easy to understand, even though I admit he uses flowery language a lot. His essays were tough to crack tho

6. Unbowed by @somto_Ihezue A poem about the Lekki toll gate massacre. "When Oliloanya’s brothers spat him across the Atlantic/ his skull broke in two/ in three/.../ A river, his blood ran into us/Of his passing breath, we are drawn/ He festers in us, and we fester with him."
