“Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind,
Flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”
– Plato

Masobe HQ is always on the lookout for new talent, writers with fresh and original voices/perspectives who tell stories that hum with emotional truth, stories
that uniquely explore the human condition as well as stories that entertain.
Masobe is currently accepting fiction (novel and short story) manuscripts. So if you are a storyteller or know someone you think tells the most magical and fantastical stories, you are welcome to show Masobe what you got.
