Issue 18: The Crime Issue

Crime is part of everyday life, affecting us viscerally, contributing to the dynamic of our relations. The fear of theft, of assault, builds up walls we often do not see slowly rising up. In this issue, we hope to explore the intricacy of crime. Not as a news headline, or as sensationalism. Crime is the life we have been living, and we live.

Consider submitting poetry, genre fiction, literary fiction, essays, criticism—writing of any sort that helps articulate and problematize crime, lawlessness, even jurisprudence.

Saraba aims to reflect and represent the best of emerging writing mainly from Nigeria, but also from the rest of the African continent. Its goal is to give emerging writers the opportunity of having their works published. “Emerging writers” is defined loosely, to spark useful dialogue—but we are interested in writers working out of Nigeria, whose work show tremendous promise but have hardly been published in a major literary magazine.

Deadline: June 28, 2015
