JUDGING
First Light
Beginnings nobody asked for
The prompt
A story about a beginning that arrived uninvited — a new job, a new city, a new sibling, a diagnosis. We want the version of "new" that nobody throws a party for.
Rules
2,000 words maximum. Shorter is welcome.
Open to writers across Africa and the diaspora.
Previously unpublished stories only.
One entry per writer. Submit through the writer's editor.
The prize
The winning story's author gets a full manuscript read at Narriva, plus a featured slot on the Kekere homepage for one month.
