About African Global Network
The poetry platform is solely open to Africans residing on the African continent. It is geared towards emerging poets but does not exclude those who are more established if they so wish.
Before submitting any work for consideration you are advised to review the information below to ensure it is acceptable to you. Please note that all communication regarding this initiative will be conducted in writing by us solely from the email address; admin@africangn.net
We pay £20.00 for each poem we agree to publish. Entrants must be over 18 years of age and their work must be their own and free of copyright restrictions. No transfer of ownership in part or in whole will result from participation in this initiative. In other words ownership of an artist’s work will remain their own.
Ideally work should be in pdf format or if not then Microsoft Word .doc format will do. You can submit 1, 2 or 3 poems maximum for us to review. Each poem must be no longer than one A4 sheet of paper in length and written in English. Irrespective of the number of pieces submitted kindly attach one or more pieces to the same email.
