Specific scenes
Who is doing the thing, where is it happening, and why does it matter now?
Be a writer
Pitch stories with a point of view.
We publish Kenyan youth culture stories that are specific, alive, useful, and not afraid to sound like the person who wrote them.
Sharp voices
Smart, funny, tender, annoyed, curious, stylish. Just do not be vague.
Kenyan texture
Campus, estate, city, coast, online, underground, mainstream, and everything between.
What works
Bring us the angle, not just the topic.
Instead of "fashion in Nairobi"
Pitch the thrift sellers shaping campus style, the photographer behind a lookbook wave, or the styling trick everyone copied.
Instead of "Gen Z and money"
Pitch how student creators price brand deals, why chama culture is changing, or what soft life costs in real numbers.
Instead of "music review"
Pitch the sound, scene, or fan behavior around the release, with context beyond whether you liked it.
How submissions move
- 01
You send a short pitch with headline, angle, why now, and who you can speak to.
- 02
We reply with notes, scope, format, deadline, and whether it fits the current calendar.
- 03
You file the piece, we edit together, and the final story goes through copy and visual packaging.
Pitch format
Keep it tight: headline, angle, why now, who you will speak to, and links to previous work if you have any.
