“An ambitious new magazine committed to African literature.”
—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, on Instagram

“Essential content, beautiful production. Readers can get inside the literature, and industry insiders can discover new talent.”
—Bernardine Evaristo, on Twitter

Open Country Mag publishes essential, in-depth stories in African literature, contextualizing the continent in the global conversation. Our stories—including book reviews and groundbreaking longform Profiles—are a foundational collection of ideas and attitudes undergirding the industry. Our work requires quality dedication, which we have, and funding, which we lack. Will you support our cultural journalism?
