About

Zambian storytelling, like our cooking, is very straightforward: each dish has a list of trusted ingredients, and the method of preparation is tried and tested. Ubwali, our staple, is cooked over high heat with just two ingredients––mealie meal and water, one pot, one cooking stick and a little bit of patience. Our food and stories are just as elegant, polished, and confident. At Ubwali Literary Magazine, we want stories that are as sure as this Zambian favourite, stories that you can come to many times over and leave satiated yet knowing you will return again. We want poems that feel like an old friend telling us a new yet familiar story. We want essays that know where the perfect full stop is, how to leave us wondering what happened next, searching for this author's new words. Give us photographs that capture the elegance of Zambia and the depths of her flavours. Ubwali Literary Magazine is a registered Non-Profit Organisation that was founded by Mubanga Kalimamukwento.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.
Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to Zambian artists in most submission periods; other African artists living in Africa can submit during specific periods.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
