Black Women’s Non-Fiction Manuscript Prize 2024
About Cassava Republic Press
Cassava Republic Press was founded in Abuja, Nigeria in 2006 with the aim of bringing high quality fiction and non-fiction for adults and children to a global audience. Cassava Republic’s mission with this prize is to reward and publish emerging and established Black women writers from across Africa and the Afro-diaspora.
Prize For Black Women’s Non-Fiction Manuscript Prize 2024
The winner of the manuscript prize will secure a publishing contract with Cassava Republic Press and receive a $20,000 advance. The two runners-up will each receive a $5,000 advance and a publishing deal as well.
This prize seeks to reimagine which forms of knowledge are considered “authoritative” by championing writing that collapses the boundary between “creativity” and “scholarship”. Through the prize, Cassava seeks to amplify and unearth the critical ideas that might otherwise remain unpublished or confined to academic circles or niche audiences.
Submission Guidelines
The prize is open to Black women writers aged 18 and over living anywhere in the world.
Submit 5 sample chapters and a pitch letter, which should include a synopsis and a full outline of all chapters.
Longlisted authors will then be asked to submit full manuscripts.
