Do you know how hard it is to produce a good story? And that story goes on to win an international prize like Caine, and suddenly, a nobody publishes in a western magazine that your work was written partly with AI? It’s horrifying and this has to stop!

i hope we use this moment to close ranks, protect our writers and build our own ecosystem. through collaboration, we can have a vibrant and successful industry that doesn’t always beg and wait for western validation. we are capable!

The Atlantic has never acknowledged the Caine Prize before. Now, when an opportunity to vilify and discredit a black/African writer presents itself, suddenly they care about the prize. It is scary, the world we live in now.
Exclusive: Another prestigious award has gone to a writer who seems to have used AI as the crisis of trust in the literary world intensifies, @vauhinivara reports: theatlantic.com/books/2026/1…

to think it’s just so easy for anyone to pull a published work and feed it to bots just to whet their malice.

what’s with this spate of smear campaigns? we’re becoming so infatuated with detecting AI that we’re forgetting how to engage with literature. this is just terrible and disturbing!

I’m building a submission portal for all art forms and looking for 3 magazines based in Africa to help test it and share feedback. Do you run or edit one, or know someone who does? Please DM me or tag them below.

Guess who's got 2 thumbs & is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.

Found myself on the longlist for this triple A-lister prize @AroleAgarawu. Humble, and grateful! Writers don't need validations but this was nice pat in the back. I'm screaming calmly 🥹
