Other Publishing Information:

Africanist Press considers essays, articles, pictures, artwork, editorials, and book-length manuscripts for publication. Creative control of Africanist Press works will remain with the original authors. Ownership of published works will be shared between original authors and Africanist Press.

Africanist Press works directly with a printer which provides a print-on-demand service and thus will never require that anybook author pay Africanist Press in return for publication. Africanist Press will ensure that all funds earned from a published work which are not used for the purpose of printing and distribution will be paid to the author.
