Not just for writers — for Africans. A home to tell our stories right, because we are the source.
Drafts started as a writer's platform. But it grew into something bigger: a place for Africans to tell their own stories — in their own words, on their own terms.
For too long our stories have been told for us, about us, from the outside. Drafts is the other way around. We are not the subject. We are the source.
Write and share your work — essays, stories, reporting, ideas — to a real audience.
Find readers and writers who care about the same things. Build a community around the work.
Develop your voice and reach over time — the platform grows with you, not past you.
