Looking for speculative fiction by Africans? You are in the right place.

AfroSFv3: African Science Fiction Anthology – Submission Deadline, Dec 1, 2016

Space, the astronomical wilderness that has enthralled our minds since we first looked up in wonder. We are ineffably drawn to it, and equally terrified by it. We have created endless mythologies, new sciences, and even religions, in the quest to understand it. We know more now than ever before and are taking our first real steps. What will become of us out there, will we thrive, will we meet a larger community more diverse than anything we could have imagined, what will be our place in that, or are we destined to be the first interstellar species, how will space change us, how will we change it? We know not, yet, but we can stargaze.

AfroSFv3 is going out there, into the great beyond, and we invite you to write the ride. We’re looking for anything you can imagine beyond the Earth and into the future, be it a decade or aeons.
