Why we exist... 

A-Stack is here to connect African writers and readers on Substack. Our aim is to make the app easier to navigate by making African writers easier to find. We do this through the A-List.

Think of it as your dictionary for discovering African Substack newsletters. There are tons of amazing African writers here, but finding them might be difficult and that’s where we come in! With this list, you can find newsletters written by Africans and they are categorised according to genre for easier navigation.

If you are an African writer (a citizen or national of an African country or with one parent that is a national of an African country) and would like to get featured on the A-list, please fill out this form.


Although we’re currently focusing on the A-List, you can check out our archive of recommendations, spotlights, prompt responses by African writers, etc.

Now that you’re all caught up, please don’t be shy. Check us out, tell your friends about us, and become a part of the A-Stack Family!
