Call for Authors
Your Story Matters. Let’s Share It With the Nation.
At the Kenyan Fiction eBookstore, we’re building more than a bookstore. We’re creating a home for stories that heal, stir, and transform — stories written by Kenyans, for Kenyans, and about Kenya. If you’re a writer with a voice that refuses to stay silent, this is your invitation to join us.
🌟 What We’re Looking For
We welcome fiction that aligns with our four pillars:
📖 STORYTELLING
We want compelling, original stories with strong characters, rich settings, and emotional depth. Whether it’s romance, thriller, satire, historical fiction, or fantasy — what matters is truth told through imagination.
Give us fiction that feels real. Fiction that lingers long after the last line.
❤️ HEALING
Your story can be a lifeline. We welcome narratives that explore trauma, loss, identity, shame, and recovery. Your fictional work can help readers feel seen — and begin to heal.
Write for those who’ve never had words for their wounds.
🌱 GROWTH
We seek stories that challenge minds and inspire transformation. Whether it’s a young adult finding their voice or a nation facing its truths, your fiction should offer readers the chance to reflect and grow.
Use your pen to light the way forward.
✊🏾 ADVOCACY
Fiction is powerful. We’re looking for stories that speak truth to power, uncover injustice, and advocate for change — not through preaching, but through unforgettable characters and layered plots.
Your fiction can fuel revolutions of thought and heart.
