Short Story Day Africa brings together writers, readers, booksellers, publishers, teachers, and schoolchildren to write, submit, read, workshop, and discuss stories which explore true and alternative African culture. Their fourth annual competition and anthology is on the theme of migration. Featuring an ever-widening range of writers from across the continent these are fresh, urgent perspectives on one of our most profound phenomena.

Short Story Day Africa presents its annual anthology. The stories explore true and alternative African culture through a competition on the theme of Water. This is the third in the SSDA collection of anthologies, which aim to break the one-dimensional view of African storytelling and fiction writing.
