Ayamba LitCast to become data base for African writers

A literary website, Ayamba LitCast, is set to provide a data base for all African writers scheduled to officially open on December 31, 2019,

Ayamba is founded by writer, lawyer and editor Halima Aliyu who said the platform is “spurred by the dire need to cater for the influx of emerging voices, and to celebrate their brilliant works. The platform provides for the promotion of African literature and the introduction of African writers to the world.

“Art is our identity. It is for us the banquet for our stories where we listen, drink and dance in their aura. Because they matter. Because we matter.”

By creating and managing their profiles, writers can be accessed and read from anywhere in the world on Ayamba. The site has online literary agents on standby to answer questions and proffer advice on writing and publishing. It is also the home for podcasts, book reviews, interviews, and literary news.
