KWAZITHINA PUBLISHERS MARKS MAJOR MILESTONE WITH LATEST RELEASE OF TWO HISTORIC ANTHOLOGIES

KwaziThina Publishers has announced the publication of the 4th Africa Teen Soul Anthology Series, featuring the perspectives of 50 exceptional young African authors on the theme “The Africa We Want”. This landmark edition is inspired by the African Union’s Vision 2063, but uniquely presented through the lens of African teenagers.

In a groundbreaking move, KwaziThina Publishers is also releasing the first-ever French edition of the anthology, “L’Afrique Que Nous Voulons”, marking a significant milestone in sharing the voices of young African writers with the Francophone world.

The Africa Teen Authors Book Initiative (ATABI), now in its fourth year, has attracted 164 submissions from 30 African countries and the diaspora. Fifty outstanding stories were carefully selected for publication, with 25 featured in English and 25 in French anthologies.

Nomawele Njongo, Founder of KwaziThina Publishers, expressed her excitement about the milestone, stating that the publication is a testament to the talent, creativity, and diversity of young African writers. KwaziThina Publishers extends its heartfelt gratitude to the ATABI 2021-2023 cohorts and the 2024 participants, without whom this publication would not have been possible.

Njongo also extended special thanks to Dr. Rabiaa Marhouch of Africanmoude, Morocco, UNESCO for Peace USA in Guinea, Prof. Faith Ben Daniels, English Editor of the African Teen Soul Anthologies from Ghana, Justical Gyan, French Editor of the ATABI program from Ghana, Dr. Wale Okediran, Secretary General of the Pan African Writers Association (PAWA), Ghana, and Chikumbutso Ndaferankhande, the Malawi Union Writers President and Novelist.
