A friend reading my poetry collection, asked me in what order I arranged my poems within. I told her, 'None'. I simply wrote, & wrote, & wrote. Some I typed. It practically came together on its own. Rooted in Africanfuturism but deeply personal. Read it yet? What do you think?

[ASFS @africansfs]

@RealGeekAfrique We are glad to have readers and fans enthusiastic about their favourite works and authors of African SFF.

An author’s work not appearing on the final Nommo Awards shortlist does not mean it was not nominated by the 300+ ASFS membership.

[ASFS @africansfs]

@RealGeekAfrique Various factors are used to draw up the final list, including the number of nominations a work received along with the eligibility considerations (including date of publication, nominated in previous Nommo seasons etc.).

2/3

[ASFS @africansfs]

@RealGeekAfrique This Nommo season was for works published between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024.

We encourage those who are eligible to become ASFS members and be involved.

Dear @africansfs...
What's going on? 2 incredible, well-received sff books, 1 barrier-breaking sci-fi hit, 1 deliciously inventive OGN, and a kickass anthology. Yet, crickets. What's a girl gotta do to get a #Nommo nom? Because we're baffled. AND it's looking a certain way...

[RealGeekAfrique @RealGeekAfrique]

Nnedi Okorafor, brilliant futurist, works across genres & subgenres, is African. Nigerian-American. And she has FOUR (!) excellent books out in the past year (5 if you count the anthology she edited). Isn't it baffling that she's not been nominated for a #Nommo award this year?

Countdown ⏱️⏱️⏱️: 10 days until release. Welcome to Calabar, where the rivers are always listening…@nkereuwxm

[RealGeekAfrique @RealGeekAfrique]

How awesome, @SpineandLabel! @MinoEhirim's book is an instant classic! Another winner from @OuidaBooks !!!

[Abdulkareem Baba Aminu™ @KareemReal]

There are depths to which one would plunge that would make even the most unexpected of disappointments seem like minor irritations. I mean, it would still sting, but just not as much as it typically would. Or should.

[RealGeekAfrique @RealGeekAfrique]

@LipglossMAFFIA We love ALL your lists!

[RealGeekAfrique @RealGeekAfrique]

In Julie Andrews' voice:🎶 Books by @Nnedi, @ChimamandaReal and @nathanielbivan ...these are a few of our favorite things! 🎶

Thank God it's Friday. Why don't you pop in for a great book, a nice cup of coffee, the stunning view, or all three?
