MANY TIMES people have asked us who we are. We prefer to tell them why we are:

There is a fire that lights when an African writes a story. It's effects reverberate with endless possibilities; Franchises, Careers, Livelihoods, Box-office successes.🔥

Our efforts notwithstanding, we ask that YOU, be a part of it. Help us give value back to the writers and the team that runs this initiative. How?
