About

The Shallow Tales Review literary magazine is an online literary outfit that aims to share the unique African story. It was founded in August 2019 by Nigerian writer, critic and editor, Nzube Nlebedim. On The Shallow Tales Review, we take it to heart the publication of works that tell of the African story; of the African who rises from his shallow depths to prominence. We chronicle the shift of the shallow African from mediocrity to success.
