Munyori Literary Journal

About

Munyori Literary Journal is a Zimbabwean-American literary platform that features works from global writers and artists. The word ‘munyori’ is Shona for “writer” or “author”. Here we extend its meaning to represent all artists. We are ambitious; we dream to make a significant contribution to literature and the arts. We are writers too, and proudly call ourselves Vanyori, the plural form of the word, but the emphasis is on what each writer contributes, in that moment when the creation of art is a solitary process. It is at that moment when what you are–munyori–is highlighted.
Consistent with its identity, the journal now receives the bulk of its submissions from Zimbabwe and the United States, but we have also featured works from other countries, Nigeria, India, China, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Ghana, Canada, and others; we want to read more from all corners of the globe.
