If you’re wondering why we’ve got a new look, it’s because this isn’t our usual newsletter. Anchor News is one of the cool things we’re rolling out this year.

What Is Anchor News?
Through Anchor News, we’ll bring you publishing news and opportunities around Africa. It’s also a space where you can learn about the writing and publishing industry, drawing from our wealth of experience. We will also answer any questions you might have. Think of this as another cool side of us.
So, mark your calendar – the newsletter drops every last Thursday of the month. If you’ve got a literary opportunity to share with a wider audience, hit us up! And, don’t forget to tell your pals and community in the publishing and creative scenes about us.
