    About the African Book Festival


    The African Book Festival is very much a festival about books: while we want to showcase writing from Africa, we want to celebrate the publishers and editors who have worked to put literature from Africa into print. We also seek to fill the gap between the books published and the books that make it onto the shelves of bookstores. However, we still recognise the need to celebrate upcoming writers and will do so in an hour-long carousel to showcase new writers/books in short boxing-style rounds. All books at the festival will sell at a maximum of 5 for paperbacks and 10 for hardbacks.
