We prefer a word count of 2500 to 5000 max. We are very particular about works that surprise, and which expand the limits of what fiction or the short story form can do.
A submission fee of N5,000 is required. This help us manage the cost of reviewing the growing number of unsolicited submissions monthly at Afapinen. You will be notified if your story is accepted or not.
To submit, use the subject “Fiction Submission,” and write editorafapinen@gmail.com with an attachment (in doc. format) of the short story, and a cover letter. Process submission payment here.
We review submissions within one month.
We pay N40,000 for accepted short stories.
