Pepper Coast Mag, formerly called Pepper Coast Lit seeks to give attention to brave new voices from Liberia and outside of Liberia.
It was founded in 2022 by Jeremy Teddy Karn and Ayouba Toure with immense help from Pamilerin Jacob.
Our Mission
To amplify young voices from within and outside of Africa.
To inspire a new generation of creators and thinkers.
To reclaim and reframe African stories for the world.
What We Do
Publish bold and original content by emerging and established writers, artists, and visionaries.
Spotlight African culture and history with a modern, global perspective.
Create space for authentic conversations around society, identity, and creativity.
Build a community of changemakers who believe in the power of storytelling.
We are searching for poetry and prose from around the world, cutting across any/and every theme and/or style. We are currently accepting submissions to be reviewed for possible publication. Please read our Submission Guidelines page carefully before submitting your work. Please check out our previous issues.
We are the coverer of the Pepper Coast Library Project, Abu Sherif Poetry Fellowship for Emerging Liberian writers, and the Kofi Awoonor Poetry Prize.
