"Literary communities are critical to a writer's success. The biggest advertisers that writers have are other writers. They are able to understand your work & increase your visibility by sharing your work with other like-minded people & audiences." - Zukiswa Wanner.

[Mettā Nairobi @WeAreMettaNBO]

"One of the biggest constraints that writers have when working with mainstream publishers is gatekeeping. Mainstream publishers go for literary works that sell. This limits the creativity of writers & the audiences that unique but "unsellable" works can reach." - Makena Maganjo
